Biography
Jeremy (Jez) Carlton is a Professor of Molecular Cell Biology, Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Department of Cancer Biology in the School of Cancer & Pharmaceutical Sciences. After an undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge, he completed a PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Bristol. He moved to the Department of Infectious Diseases at King’s as a Beit Memorial Research Fellow and later established his lab in the Division of Cancer Studies at King’s with a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship.
Jez's lab study how cellular membranes and organelles are remodelled during cell division, during cell migration and how cellular membranes are repaired when damaged.
