David Walter | Group leader
Cancer Research UK

I am a Group Leader at Cancer Research Horizons and the CRUK lead for the Joint AZ-CRH Functional Genomics Centre. With over 10 years' experience, I specialise in functional genomics and preclinical oncology R&D. Before joining Cancer Research Horizons in 2019, I led target discovery and validation programmes at Horizon Discovery. I hold a PhD in Cell Biology from the University of Basel, Switzerland, and completed my postdoctoral studies at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where my research focused on the role of cell cycle regulators in genome maintenance.
