She completed her PhD with Professor Fiona Watt at The Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF), UK, before moving to The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, for a postdoc in Professor Richard Hynes’s lab. She then joined Cancer Research UK in 1999 as a tenure-track fellow under the mentorship of Professor Ian Hart and has since become Deputy Director of BCI and a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization and The Academy of Medical Science. She currently leads the Centre for Tumour Microenvironment at BCI, where her research focuses on understanding the roles of cell adhesion and angiocrine signalling in cancer and responses to therapy. Kairbaan (who is also known as Kebs) joined Journal of Cell Science as an Editor in August 2023, and brings to the journal her extensive expertise in cancer cell biology, angiogenesis and signalling within the tumour microenvironment. We spoke with Kebs over Zoom to learn about her impressive career, her perspectives on scientific publishing and her philosophy of leadership in academia.
