Biography
Dr Pecorino obtained her Ph.D in Cell and Developmental Biology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA. She then moved to London to carry out a post-doctoral tenure at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research where she studied the fascinating phenomenon of limb regeneration. Here she used a technique called biolistics using a “gene gun” to shoot gold bullets coated with DNA to introduce genes into the regenerating limbs of live newts.
Since 1996, Lauren has been a member of academic staff at the University of Greenwich, where she developed her interest in teaching Cancer Biology. She is the author of the textbook entitled: The Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics, now in its second edition, published by Oxford University Press. Recently she has become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.
