Professor Ken Mills
Professor of Molecular Virology at the Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Institute for Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences (MDBS), The Patrick G Johnston Centre for Cancer Research
Professor Mills' interests are in translational research in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with the aim of improving diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of therapeutic responses.
His research has focused on improving diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of therapeutic responses for blood cancers. He is part of a cross-disciplinary research team that is testing whether current drugs can be “repurposed” to treat COVID-19.
