Simon Tavaré FRS FMedSci (born 1952),[3] is the founding Director of the Herbert and Florence Irving Institute of Cancer Dynamics at Columbia University.[4] Prior to joining Columbia, he was Director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, Professor of Cancer Research at the Department of Oncology and Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge.[5]

Education

Tavaré was educated at Oundle School[3] and the University of Sheffield where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in 1974, a Master of Science degree in 1975, and a PhD in 1979.[3][6]

Research and career

Tavaré's research has been funded by Cancer Research UK, the Royal Society,[7][1] the European Union, Horizon 2020, the Wellcome Trust, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC),[8] the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).[9] His former doctoral students include Thomas Hardcastle,[10][11] Ioanna Manolopoulou,[10][12] Vincent Plagnol,[10][13][14] Andrea Sottoriva,[10][15] and Douglas Speed.[10][16]
