Justin Bower

Professor Justin Bower is an Honorary Professor at the School of Cancer Sciences, University of Glasgow, affiliated with the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms in cancer progression and therapeutic development.

Key research areas include:

• RAS signaling pathway inhibition
• MRCK kinase as a therapeutic target
• Fragment-based drug discovery methods
• Protein purification and engineering
• Anti-metastatic agent development

Over the past decade, his publications span cancer biology, pharmacology, and biochemical techniques, with recent work targeting RAS:PDE6D complex stabilization and MRCK inhibition in glioblastoma/skin cancer. Collaborative studies highlight expertise in automated protein purification workflows and computational drug screening.

Current lab affiliations include the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research, where he contributes to multidisciplinary cancer research initiatives.
