Dr Simon Brayford is a researcher at the Children's Cancer Institute and UNSW Conjoint Lecturer. His research interests include cell-signalling, metastasis and understanding mechanisms contributing to chemotherapy resistance in tumours. The aim of this research is to develop novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies for a range of adult and childhood cancers.
