Emma Haagensen

Dr. Emma Haagensen is a researcher at Newcastle University, primarily collaborating on biomedical studies in oncology and medical education. Her work spans translational research in cancer therapies, including MEK/PI3K inhibitors and TRAIL-based treatments, and educational studies evaluating active learning strategies and study support systems in medical curricula. She frequently collaborates with Prof. Herbie Newell, Prof. Kenneth Dalgarno, and Dr. Gary Beale, among others.

Research Interests:

• Oncology: Focus on molecular mechanisms of cancer progression (osteosarcoma, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer) and targeted therapies.
• Molecular Biology: Investigates replication licensing, cell cycle regulation, and hypoxia signaling.
• Medical Education: Analyzes active learning strategies and digital education adaptations during the pandemic.

Publication Trends: Her recent work emphasizes transnational education studies and pre-clinical cancer research, with historical contributions to drug synergy models and DNA replication dynamics.
