• Education: PhD in Genome Regulation

His research focuses on the epigenetic regulation of somatic mutagenesis in normal and malignant B cells, particularly how nuclear envelope alterations affect chromatin conformation and genomic stability. Key themes include:

• Cell Signalling
• Immunotherapy
• Blood Cancer Pathogenesis
• Epigenetic Mechanisms

Andrejs Braun's publications highlight trends in lysosomal pathways, nuclear lamina degradation, and targeted therapies for haematological malignancies. His work bridges fundamental epigenetic processes with translational cancer research.

Scientific awards and honors:

• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)
• Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science (FIBMS)

Major grants include funding from Blood Cancer UK, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), and the Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund, supporting research on Lamin B1-mediated genomic instability in leukaemia and lymphoma. He also contributes to academic governance as Deputy Chair of the Academic Misconduct Panel at Queen Mary University of London.
