from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Joseph Jacques Parker FRS (born September 30, 1954 ) is a British biochemist and cancer researcher .

Life

Parker graduated from the University of Oxford a bachelor in biochemistry and 1979 when Philip Randle also in Oxford his Ph.D. , also in biochemistry. After research positions as a postdoctoral fellow for the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Dundee and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) in London, he became head of a research laboratory at the ICRF in 1985 and at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in 1986 . In 1990 he became Principal Investigator at the ICRF, which was renamed Cancer Research UK in 2002 . Parker became Head of Cancer Studies at King's College London in 2006 and Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute , also in London, from 2015 , which is the successor to Cancer Research UK's London Research Institute . He is a professor at King's College.
