I am Editor in Chief of The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research. My research interests are aligned with my clinical practice in gynaecological pathology as a Consultant Pathologist with NHS Lothian.Group MembersNameRoleTelephoneEmailEmily SouthworthPhD Student Email Emily SouthworthWeb LinksFull publication listThe Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research WebsiteCollaboratorsProf Charlie Gourley, Oncology, University of EdinburghProf Mark Arends, Pathology, University of EdinburghSelected PublicationsHollis RL, Meynert AM, Michie CO, Rye T, Churchman M, Croy I, McCluggage WG, Williams ARW, Dougherty B, Matakidou A, March R, Barrett JC, Roxburgh P, Semple CA, Kennedy R, Herrington CS, Gourley C, "Multiomic characterisation of high grade serous ovarian carcinoma enables high resolution patient stratification", Clin Cancer Res. 2022; 283546-3556. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-22-0368.
