About Dr. Marcus S. Cooke PhD, FRCPath

Dr. Cooke's Oxidative Stress Group studies the role of genotoxicity in the pathogenesis of disease, in particular the link between oxidative stress, and genomic instability: from basic mechanisms to translational application of validated biomarkers.  Specifically, formation and repair of damage to nuclear/mitochondrial DNA and the nucleotide precursor pools; and DNA adductomics: (i) the totality of adducts in cellular DNA, and urine; (ii) the genome-wide mapping of damage.

In the last five years, he has been involved, either as principal investigator or collaborator, in major research projects funded by NIEHS (current funding R01, R15, R41; R03 pending), The Thomas Helleday Foundation for Medical Research (current), Cancer Research UK, the UK Food Standards Agency, the European Union and industry.
