Francesca Ciccarelli is Professor of Cancer Genomics at King’s College London and Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute. Francesca graduated in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Bologna and was awarded a PhD from the University of Heidelberg. In 2005, Francesca started her independent research group at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan where she applied genomics and systems biology to study the evolution of gastrointestinal cancer. In 2014, she moved to King’s College London and since 2017 her group is seconded to the Francis Crick Institute. Francesca is co-lead of the Patient Stratification Theme of the Cancer Research UK KHP Centre and of the Cancer Evolution Theme of the CRUK City of London Cancer Centre.
