Geoffrey Maher is a geneticist investigating gestational trophoblastic diseases, focusing on pregnancy-related disorders. His research includes pre-malignant hydatidiform moles, such as molar pregnancies, and malignant forms like choriocarcinoma and placental-site trophoblastic tumours. His role involves genetic diagnosis of these diseases and researching the underlying molecular mechanisms. Before joining Imperial College London in 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford where he explored the 'selfish' clonal selection of mutant stem cells in normal human testes, a process associated with age-related increases in the transmission of pathogenic mutations. His educational background includes a BSc in Genetics from University College Cork, an MRes in Advanced Genetic Analysis from the University of Leeds, and a PhD in Genetic Medicine from the University of Manchester.
