Duncan T. Odom is a research group leader at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK CI) at the University of Cambridge[3][6] and was an associate faculty member at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute between 2011-2018.[4]

Education

Odom was educated at the New College of Florida where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry in 1995.[4] He continued his study at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) where he was awarded a PhD in chemical engineering for research on DNA-binding metallo-intercalators supervised by Jacqueline Barton.[6][5]

Career and research

After a period as a postdoctoral researcher[7] in genetics and genomics at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts with Richard A. Young,[4] he established his research group at the University of Cambridge in 2006.[6] His research investigates how transcription and transcriptional regulation vary during evolution, and its implications for diseases such as cancer, using high throughput biology methods to investigate genome evolution.[8][9][10][11] As of 2017, according to Google Scholar his most highly-cited papers have been published in Cell,[12] Chemical Reviews,[13] and Science.[14][15]

His research has been funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases,[6] the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the European Research Council, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), the Wellcome Trust[16] and Cancer Research UK.[6]

Awards and honours

Odom was awarded the Francis Crick Medal and Lecture in 2014[1][17] for his “pioneering work in the field of comparative functional genomics, which has changed our understanding of the evolution of mammalian transcriptional regulation.”[1] He was awarded EMBO Membership in 2015[2], and the Mary Lyon Medal from the Genetics Society (UK) in 2016.[18]
