prof Maeve Lowery

Professor Maeve Lowery is Professor of Translational Cancer Medicine at Trinity College Dublin. The Professor is also chairperson of the Cancer Molecular Diagnostics Advisory Group of the National Cancer Control Program (NCCP). Their clinical and translational research involves design and conduction of clinical trials in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, incorporating translational study endpoints to validate predictive and prognostic biomarkers, identify mechanisms of resistance and guide the development of rational therapeutic strategies.

Professor Lowery's translational research interests include the use of real-time genomic profiling to identify novel therapeutic strategies for gastrointestinal cancers, identification of non-coding alterations as modifiers of the DNA damage response pathway and generation of organoid models of cancer as a tool for precision oncology as a member of the PRECODE consortium. Their work is supported by the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, Science Foundation Ireland, through the Precision Oncology Ireland Consortium and the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Programme.
