Professor Jon Pines is at the forefront of his research field, investigating the fundamental processes that control cell division and finding out how these can go out of control, leading to cancer. He is based at the Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute of Cancer and Developmental Biology in Cambridge, and has been funded by Cancer Research UK for more than 15 years.
