Biography

Dr George Ronson studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, graduating with a MSci in 2013. He then moved to the University of Oxford to complete his D.Phil with Prof. Nick Lakin, studying the redundancy between different PARP enzymes in DNA repair and genome stability.

In 2018, George moved to the University of Birmingham, to pursue postdoctoral research with Prof. Jo Morris. During this time, he studied the biological mechanisms underpinning BRCA1 synthetic lethal interactions.

In 2025, George started as a Springboard Fellow at the University of Birmingham, where his research will investigate the DNA repair roles of understudied small protein modifiers, and their impact in the treatment of cancer.
