Tammie Bishop

PhD

Associate Professor

Professor Tammie Bishop is an Associate Professor of Cellular and Integrative Physiology in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics and Tutorial Fellow for Medicine at Trinity College, University of Oxford. Her research focuses on understanding how low oxygen levels (hypoxia) influence cellular processes, particularly in the development and progression of certain cancers. Her work has shed light on the mechanisms by which hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), especially HIF-2α, regulate cell proliferation and contribute to tumor growth in conditions such as carotid body paragangliomas and kidney clear cell carcinomas. She currently leads a group investigating rapid responses to low oxygen (hypoxia), as exemplified by the increase in breathing in response to hypoxia that is mediated by the peripheral arterial chemoreceptor: the carotid body. This work has recently been awarded a Wellcome Discovery Award.
