Biography:

Professor Watson received his PhD degree in Biochemistry from the Department of Biochemistry, University College Cork in 1995. He then undertook his post-doctoral research in University of Toronto and the Toronto General Hospital in Canada, before returning in 1997, to the Department of Surgery, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, University College Dublin and is now Associate Professor of Cancer Biology in the UCD School of Medicine and Medical Science. Apart from his undergraduate and post-graduate teaching responsibilities, he has an active internationally recognised research group. As a translational biologist based in the Conway Institute he utilises latest technologies to study cellular and molecular pathways and clinical collaboration through the Prostate Cancer Research Consortium (of which he is the lead PI) to expand the understanding of the initiation and progression of prostate cancer in order to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic sites for manipulation. Professor Watson is Section editor of the Scientific Discovery section of the BJUInternational, Chair of the Basic Research Section of the European Association for Urology Research Foundation, Principal Investigator in Molecular Medicine Ireland.

Research Interests

My focus of research is in prostate cancer which can be divided into two areas:

1. Biomarker discovery and validation: Using the critical mass and bioresource facilities of the Prostate Cancer Research Consortium (of which I am the lead PI) the group undertake to address clinically relevant questions to identify and validate biomarkers for grade and stage of prostate cancer which will inform appropriate treatment strategies.

2. Understanding the mechanisms of resistances to therapy of advanced disease. We have established models of resistance to androgen ablation therapy and chemoresistance and using genechip and bioinformatice strategies have identified central transcription factors which represent novel sites for therapeutic manipulation which is carried out as part of the Molecular Therapeutics for Cancer in Ireland SFI cluster and the All Ireland Clinical Oncology Research Group (ICORG)
