DESCRIPTION:Professor Kristian Helin\nA Lola and John Grace Distinguished 
 Lecture in Cancer Research\n\nProfessor Kristian Helin is the Chief Execut
 ive and President of The Institute of Cancer Research\, London\, having st
 arted at the ICR in September 2021.\nKristian mis the CEO and President of
  The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London. Moreover\, he is a prof
 essor in Epigenetics and Cancer at the University of London. He obtained a
  MSc in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark and 
 a PhD from University of Copenhagen. He was a research fellow at Harvard M
 edical School\, started his own research group at the Danish Cancer Societ
 y in 1994 and became subsequently a founding member of the Dept of Experim
 ental Oncology at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan\, Italy. Fro
 m 2003 to 2018 he was the founding director of the Biotech Research and In
 novation Centre at University of Copenhagen and in 2018-2021 Prof Helin wa
 s the Chair of the Cell Biology Program and the Director of Center for Epi
 genetics Research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center\, New York.\n\
 nThe Helin laboratory has made several seminal discoveries in the field of
  cell cycle control\, epigenetics and cancer. In addition to providing nov
 el insights into mechanisms regulating transcription\, stem cell identity 
 and differentiation\, the work in Prof Helin’s lab has led to the establ
 ishment of the biotech companies EpiTherapeutics and Dania Therapeutics. D
 r. Helin is an elected member of European Molecular Biology Organisation (
 EMBO) and the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters. He has received
  several prestigious awards for outstanding biomedical research and serves
  in several editorial boards\, committees of advisory boards and grant com
 mittees.\n\n\n
