Research Focus

My focus is detailed translational trials in pancreatic cancer, with a focus on targeting the tumour microenvironment. These approaches include immune therapies, stem cell, stromal and vascular targeting. A major emphasis is on GCP level detailed biomarker studies in early phase trials.

Research

I am a Senior Lecturer and Consultant Medical Oncologist based at Barts Cancer Institute and St Bartholomew’s Hospital.

I am lead for GI trials with a focus on pancreatic cancer. I work with scientists within the BCI in crosscutting themes targeting the tumour microenvironment. These approaches include immune therapies, stem cell, stromal and vascular targeting. A major emphasis is on GCP level detailed biomarker studies in early phase trials. In the laboratory, we use a variety of preclinical models and clinically derived material to study effects of therapies in pancreatic cancer.
