Bristow joined the University of Manchester as Director of the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (MCRC) in August 2017 to develop a new cancer strategy. His research focusses on the prostate cancer genome and tumour microenvironment hypoxic tumour cell characterisation by understanding role of hypoxia in driving genetic instability and the changes in sporadic and hereditary (e.g. BRCA2) prostate cancer genomes during cancer aggression.
