Biography
I am dual trained in Medicine and Science. I carried out my medical degree in Oxford and then trained as a Medical Oncologist in Glasgow. I completed my PhD in Nic Jones’s laboratory in London, and have carried out short research spells with Paul Russell and Frank McCormick in California. I was appointed as a Consultant Senior Lecturer in Medical Oncology in Bristol in 2003 and obtained a CRUK Clinician Scientist Fellowship in 2005. This award is designed to promote clinically relevant scientific research, and I am currently carrying this out in Alan Clarke’s laboratory, while still having a clinical practice in Bristol. Kirsty Greenow is currently working with me as a Research Associate. I aim to apply for a Senior Research Fellowship in due course.
