Jessica Roque

Jéssica brings a methodical precision to everything she does, and it shows in the quality of her work. She develops and optimises the assays that underpin the lab’s precision medicine programme, builds and maintains cancer mouse models, and works extensively with patient-derived organoids — miniature tumour models that capture the complexity of real cancer in a dish. It is detailed, demanding work, and Jéssica approaches it with the kind of organisation and positive energy that makes the people around her better. Her contributions sit at the heart of the lab’s effort to translate biological discoveries into findings that matter for patients.
