Christopher Broughton

Christopher Broughton is a Tutor in the Department of Life Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University, specializing in teaching Biomedical Science and Human Physiology across undergraduate and postgraduate programs. His research focuses on B cell malignancies, particularly investigating novel thienopyridine compounds as anti-cancer agents through mechanisms involving tubulin disruption and cell cycle arrest. He has presented work at major conferences including the British Society for Haematology and European Hematology Association meetings.

Expertise includes cell culture, flow cytometry, microscopy techniques, RT-qPCR, and multiplex western blotting. His research explores drug repurposing strategies and molecular signaling pathways in haemato-oncology. Teaching responsibilities span both M BioMed Sci (Hons) and MSc Human Physiology programs, integrating his clinical research background from NHS settings with academic instruction.

• Key research areas: B cell receptor signaling, cell cycle checkpoint control, tubulin dynamics
• Presentations at BSH 2020, EHA 2020, and MMU Research Symposium 2017
