Jessica Downs is the Professor of Epigenetics and Genome Stability at The Institute of Cancer Research in London. She did her PhD at the Gurdon Institute at Cambridge University followed by a postdoctoral position studying DNA repair with Professor Steve Jackson. In 2002, Jessica was awarded the Jenner Fellowship from the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, which she used to establish her own lab in the Biochemistry Department at Cambridge University, followed by a move to the MRC Genome Damage and Stability Centre.
In 2016, Jessica relocated the lab to the Institute of Cancer Research to join the Division of Cancer Biology, where she is Deputy Head of Division. Research in the Downs lab is aimed at understanding the impact of chromatin structure and epigenetic regulation on DNA damage responses and the maintenance of genome stability.
