DESCRIPTION:*Dr Nicola Valeri's biblio/background*:\n"Dr Nicola Valeri is 
 Associate Professor in Personalised Oncology and leads the Gastrointestina
 l Cancer Biology and Genomics team at the Institute of Cancer Research (IC
 R)\, London. Dr Valeri is also clinically active\; he is a Consultant Medi
 cal Oncologist and specialises in the treatment of patients with gastroint
 estinal cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. His research is fo
 cused on colorectal and gastro-oesophageal cancers. Dr Valeri received his

 ensive Cancer Centre in the United States from 2007 to 2011. He was a Seni
 or Clinical Lecturer at Glasgow University before being appointed a team l
 eader at the ICR's Centre of Molecular Pathology in 2013. Dr Valeri’s La
 b is investigating novel biomarkers of response and resistance to treatmen
 t in gastrointestinal cancer patients. Using tissue and liquid biopsies hi
 s team aims to define molecular mechanisms and dynamics that govern primar
 y and acquired resistance to anti-cancer treatment. Dr Valeri’s team is 
 also developing large bio-banks of mini-tumours\, known as organoids\, fro
 m metastatic cancer patients to model treatment response.”\n
