Jonathan Bond

UCD Brendan McGonnell Professor of Paediatric Molecular Haemato-oncology

Jonathan is a medical graduate of Trinity College and trained as a haematologist in Ireland. After completing his clinical attachments at CHI at Crumlin (formerly OLCHC), he moved to London to do laboratory research at UCL Institute of Child Health. He went on to do a PhD in Molecular Haematology at Imperial College/ MRC Clinical Sciences Centre (now the LMS), followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at the Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades in Paris. The main theme of his work has been the investigation of how gene regulation is subverted in leukaemia.

Jonathan returned to Ireland in 2018 to lead a new collaborative paediatric leukaemia research program between CHI at Crumlin and Systems Biology Ireland at UCD. More is known about the molecular biology of childhood leukaemia than ever before, and huge amounts of genetic, transcriptional and epigenetic information continue to be generated. It’s important that these data are interrogated intelligently, and it’s incumbent on clinicians and biologists to help drive this analysis. Jonathan’s group will use systems biology approaches to investigate gene and protein networks in paediatric leukaemia, with particular reference to normal haematopoiesis. The ultimate hope is to find more precise and effective cures for children and adolescents with these diseases.

Using systems biology to improve the treatment of childhood leukaemia

We will use systems biology analysis to investigate the mechanisms of oncogenesis and treatment resistance in paediatric leukaemias. These approaches initially involve computational modelling of the complex interdependent genes and protein networks that are crucial for leukaemia cell survival. We predict that these analyses will identify hidden ‘Achilles’ heels’ which can be targeted to help kill the leukaemia cells, and this will be tested in cell line models and primary patient samples. Ultimately, we hope that the combination of these analyses will help us find more precise and effective cures for children with blood cancers.
