Overview

John Burn is affiliated with Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and has a research profile primarily focused on medicine, with significant contributions to biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work spans several subfields, including pathology and forensic medicine, oncology, cancer research, molecular biology, and genetics.

The research topics covered by John Burn emphasize genetic factors in colorectal cancer, cancer genomics and diagnostics, colorectal cancer screening and detection, colorectal cancer treatments and studies, colorectal and anal carcinomas, genomics and rare diseases, and multiple and secondary primary cancers.

John Burn's recent papers include:

  • Whole-genome sequencing of patients with rare diseases in a national health system, 2020, Nature
  • Cancer prevention with aspirin in hereditary colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome), 10-year follow-up and registry-based 20-year data in the CAPP2 study: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, 2020, The Lancet

Frequent co-authors collaborating with John Burn include:

  • Richard Gallon
  • D. Gareth Evans
  • Toni T. Seppälä
  • Gabriela Möslein
  • Mev Dominguez-Valentin

John Burn has published extensively in a variety of scientific journals. Common publication venues include:

  • British Journal of Dermatology
  • Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice
  • Genetics in Medicine
  • British journal of surgery
  • Cancers

Among the noteworthy topics addressed in their research are the genetic and molecular aspects of colorectal cancer and the development of effective screening and diagnostic protocols. The focus on hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, particularly Lynch syndrome, has been a critical area, demonstrated by work on long-term aspirin use in cancer prevention and studies on colorectal cancer risk variation within affected families.

John Burn's interdisciplinary approach combines clinical oncology, molecular biology, and genetics to explore cancer development and prevention strategies. Their research contributes to the understanding of complex genetic factors in disease susceptibility and the improvement of patient outcomes through genomic diagnostics and targeted treatments.
