Tessa Holyoake

Professor Tessa Holyoake is Director of the Paul O’Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre at Glasgow’s Gartnavel Hospital. Her pioneering lab work focuses on how cancer stem cells can trigger the return of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), a cancer affecting the blood. Her research could lead to new treatments that specifically target and kill stem cells, improving long-term survival and quality of life for people with CML.
