Jennifer Hay

Jennifer Hay is an active researcher affiliated with the School of Cancer Sciences at the University of Glasgow. Her work spans two primary research domains: colorectal cancer pathology and traumatic brain injury. She maintains an active research profile with numerous publications in high-impact journals across these fields.

Her research interests focus on tumor microenvironment analysis in colorectal cancer, particularly the development and validation of the Glasgow Microenvironment Score as a prognostic tool. She investigates histopathological scoring methods, immune infiltration patterns, and molecular pathways in colorectal cancer. Earlier in her career, she conducted significant research on blood-brain barrier pathology and long-term neurological consequences following traumatic brain injury.

Analysis of her recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a strong concentration on colorectal cancer research, with particular emphasis on tumor-stroma interactions, histopathological scoring systems, and the development of prognostic biomarkers. Her work frequently employs advanced techniques including multiplex immunofluorescence, spatial transcriptomics, and computational pathology approaches to characterize tumor microenvironments.

Hay collaborates extensively with Professor Joanne Edwards and other researchers at the University of Glasgow, particularly within the cancer research community. Her work contributes significantly to understanding how tumor microenvironment characteristics influence cancer progression, recurrence patterns, and treatment response in colorectal cancer patients.
