Dr Robson's research investigates the interplay between gut bacteria and colorectal cancer progression. He examines how bacterial metabolites and virulence factors drive transformation from healthy colonic epithelium to malignant carcinoma, integrating microbiology, molecular biology, and cancer biology. His work stems from a PhD thesis on 'disease-promoting abilities of gut bacteria in colorectal tumour cells' and postdoctoral epigenetics research at University of Bath.
