About Gianmarco Contino

Gianmarco is a clinician scientist actively working in the field translational oncology of gastrointestinal cancers and cancer genomic medicine. He has established his research group at the University of Birmingham after training in molecular and surgical oncology at worldwide leading institutions. With his research team, he is tackling structural variation of cancer genomes to exploit the vulnerabilities of aneuploidy and develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for upper gastrointestinal cancers. He is also pioneering the use of structural variation in germline genomes to identify predisposition to cancers. His clinical practice focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of early cancer, advanced endoscopy and genomic-driven precision oncology.
