Prof. Barr is the EP Abraham Professor of Mechanistic Cell Biology and Head of Department in the Department of Biochemistry.
His research addresses molecular mechanisms by which new human cells are generated with a focus on the processes required for cell division. His work seeks to explain how dysregulation of these pathways can lead to cancer and other diseases.
Before moving to Oxford, he was a group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich and then North West Cancer Research Professor at the University of Liverpool.
“Aurora kinase function in mitosis: a relationship under tension”
I will talk about the origins of genome instability in tumours and what we have learned from studying Aurora A/B and protein phosphatase 6. At the end I’ll briefly touch on the response to genome instability and how it is detected.
