Professor Chris Marshall is the Director of the Cancer Research UK Centre for Cell and Molecular Biology, which is at the forefront of UK research into the molecular causes of cancer. Professor Marshall leads the Oncogene Team, which is studying the communication pathways within cancer cells that determine how they behave. Central to his research are two groups of related proteins called 'Ras' and 'Rho'.

Professor Marshall's group has two research themes. One is the study of cell signalling pathways controlling cell motility. The second is mouse germ line manipulation to study signalling pathways activated by oncogenic Ras required for tumourigenesis and metastasis.
