About David Glover

Professor David Glover is an expert in cell division - the process by which new cells are made. Over the years, he has discovered a number of important proteins that play a vital role in forming the ‘scaffolding’ that cells build in order to help them divide. He and his team are studying how these proteins work, using their knowledge to develop potential new treatments for cancer.
