My research is focused on using genetic approaches to understand the basis of cancer, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. Although many risk factors have been identified for these cancers, they do not lend themselves to primary prevention, except for high risk individuals who opt for prophylactic surgery, and so there is an urgent need to understand the aetiology of these cancers in order to develop better risk prediction algorithms and risk reduction medications.

我的研究重点是使用遗传方法来了解癌症的基础，特别是乳腺癌和卵巢癌。尽管已经确定了这些癌症的许多风险因素，但除了选择预防性手术的高风险个体外，它们并不适合一级预防，因此迫切需要了解这些癌症的病因，以便开发更好的风险预测算法和降低风险的药物。
