Inga Usher

Inga is a clinical PhD student whose research is focussed on the genomics of chordoma. She is an aspiring spinal surgeon and has helped establish the UK National Chordoma Cohort Study. She is using the CRISPR / Cas system to investigate the function of a germline variant found in nearly all patients with chordoma and will be exploring the germline and somatic landscape of chordoma using data generated by the 100,000 Genomes Project and the National Cohort Study.
