Dr Chris Jones
Chris is primarily interested in statistical approaches to the design and analysis of quantitative research, particularly for clinical trials and lab-based research. With a strong lab background, he has a strong interest in whole-genome approaches to gene expression analysis, such as RNA-sequencing, microarrays and qRT-PCR arrays. He also has extensive experience in the design of experiments utilising molecular biology and cell culture techniques.

Dr Deeptima Massey
Deeptima Massey is Research Manager at Brighton and Sussex Medical School.
Dr Simon Mitchell
Simon’s primary research focus is in understanding how intracellular, molecular signalling networks control immune cell fate, and how misregulation of these molecular networks lead to haematological malignancies. His combination of immunology and haematological training lead to a particular interest in B-cell lymphomas.
He also contributes computational systems biology approaches to many productive collaborations from neuroscience to iron regulation and is always looking for new collaborations where exciting biological questions require novel analytical approaches.
