Beggs Lab


Diagnostic Services, Cancer and Genomic Research

Welcome...

Our lab is based at the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Science at the University of Birmingham. We conduct cutting edge research in cancer genetics and genomics, human disease models (such as organoids) and bioinformatics. We focus primarily on colorectal, oesophageal, lung cancers and sarcomas but have interest in many other cancers. 

We also run the human next generation sequencing facility within the College of Medical and Dental Sciences within the University of Birmingham, and provide translational scientific analysis for many academic and commercial clinical trials including SMPEDS1/2 

We are primarily funded by Cancer Research UK, the Wellcome Trust, the Medical Research Council and the UK National Institute of Health Research

Patient Derived Organoids - 3D Tissue Culture

We have generated a bank of human patient derived organoid models from colorectal cancer primary, metastatic sites as well as normal colon and liver tissue, used in numerous in-vitro research projects within our laboratory and elsewhere. Click here to find out more.

COVID-19 Testing

After much work our COVID19 testing laboratory has commenced operation. In the photo you can see some of the team who made it all possible. We are aiming to deliver up to 10k tests/day.
