Bioanalyzer chips can be used interchangably for many analyses of DNA or RNA. James has two kids and lives in Norfolk, which is a lot nearer the coast than Cambridge.ĭavies, Denyer & Hadfield. Today the lab offers primarily NGS services on Illumina HiSeq, MiSeq & NextSeq for scientists at CRUK-CI and nine other University departments, as well as single-cell analysis on Fuildigm C1 and 10X Genomics. In 2006 James moved to set up the genomics facility at CRUK's new Cambridge Institute. Although none of his ideas have come to anything yet! At JIC he also won a Biotech competition, and hopes one-day to start a business. In 2000 he set up an Affy and spotted microarray facility at JIC, he co-founded the UK Affy user group, which is still going strong. Over the last 16 years he's worked at the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital on ErbB2, Royal London on Diabetes genetics, the Cambridge Uni Department of Pathology on Immunology group and the John Innes Centre on Wheat disease resistance gene cloning and arrays. In 1995 he developed a differential PCR test for ErbB2 copy number analysis at the same time as real-time PCR came along, a poor choice in hindsight! His career so far has leant towards technology development or implementation. James received a Molecular Biology degree and PhD from the University of East Anglia.
