Prof Jillian Birch

Looking for the causes of childhood cancer

Professor Jillian Birch is Director of the Cancer Research UK Paediatric and Familial Cancer Research Group at the University of Manchester. Using information from the Manchester Children's Tumour Registry, she is trying to identify possible causes of childhood cancers.

She is also studying an inherited condition called Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, which greatly increases the risk of developing cancer.
