Research Interests
Emma Allott, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer in Molecular Cancer Epidemiology in the Patrick G. Johnston Centre for Cancer Research where she leads a multidisciplinary research group studying mechanisms linking lifestyle factors with prostate cancer risk and outcomes. She completed her PhD at Trinity College Dublin in molecular cancer biology, and postdoctoral training in cancer epidemiology at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
She works collaboratively with existing studies of prostate cancer around the globe, alongside establishing new resources within existing registries by harnessing developments in ‘omics profiling of archival tissue specimens.
Her overarching research programme is focussed broadly on the role of obesity and poor metabolic health in prostate cancer aggressiveness and outcomes, with separate strands of work studying the role of adipose tissue distribution and periprostatic fat in prostate cancer risk (funded by the World Cancer Research Fund), the mechanistic underpinnings of the epidemiological association between statin medication use and lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer (funded by Cancer Research UK), and the role of immune cell infiltration in the tumour microenvironment of fatal prostate cancer (funded by the Royal Society).
