iCAN science seminar: Dr. Daniel Hodson

Deciphering the Genomics of Aggressive Lymphomas
Speaker: Dr. Daniel Hodson, MD, PhD
Host: Prof. Sirpa Leppä

Minibio:

Dr Hodson studied medicine at Cambridge and Oxford Universities before training in clinical haematology in Cambridge. He undertook a University of Cambridge PhD in molecular immunology supervised by Dr Martin Turner at the Babraham Institute. In 2010 he moved as a Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund (KKLF) Post-doctoral Fellow to the lab of Dr Louis Staudt at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, USA to study the functional genomics of aggressive B cell lymphoma. In 2015 he was awarded a Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinician Scientist Fellowship and returned to Cambridge to establish a research group in the Welcome MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of Cambridge. In 2021 he was awarded a Cancer Research UK Senior Research Fellowship and in 2023 a European Research Council Consolidator award.

The Hodson Group researches the molecular mechanisms that underlie lymphomagenesis with a view to identifying new targets for designer anti-lymphoma therapies. Key themes in his lab are molecular profiling (especially ctDNA) to resolve genetic heterogeneity of DLBCL, novel approaches to model the functional genetics of lymphoma, and the mechanistic contribution of RNA helicases in lymphomagenesis. Dr Hodson is also a practising clinician and an honorary Haematology consultant. He runs an active portfolio of clinical trials to study the effect of novel therapies in patients with lymphoma and chairs the UK NCRI Lymphoma Translational Science Subgroup.
