Angeliki Malliri

Angeliki completed her bachelor’s degree in Biology at the University of Patras and obtained her PhD from the University of Crete, Greece. She worked as a postdoctoral scientist at the CRUK Beatson Institute in Glasgow and the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam. She established her independent research group in 2004 at CRUK Manchester Institute and moved to the Division of Cancer Sciences in March 2024. A focus of her lab has been the mechanisms controlling and mediating cell migration and invasion, definitive characteristics of malignant cells essential for metastasis. Even though initially her lab was investigating these processes in several cancers, recently they have been focusing on KRas-mutant lung adenocarcinoma and small-cell lung cancer. Angeliki’s lab has also been addressing KRas-mutant isoform selective functions in lung cancer development and response to treatments in close collaboration with Dr Colin Lindsay, Clinical Senior Lecturer at DCS.
