About me
I am a Medical Oncology Consultant for the Gastrointestinal Oncology Service at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Associate Professor at the UCL Cancer Insitute. I treat oesophageal, stomach, small bowel, colorectal and hepatobiliary cancers, as well as cancers of unknown primary. I am the UCLH Clinical Lead for the Cancer of Unknown Primary Service and the Acute Oncology Service.
My research interests include immunotherapy for GI malignancies and Cancer of Unknown Primary. I am Chief Investigator or Principal Investigator for a number of GI or CUP immuno-oncology Phase 2 and 3 trials, including KEYNOTE 177, NEOPRISM-CRC, LEAP 17, KEYNOTE 859, KEYNOTE 811, KEYNOTE 975, MATTERHORN, VESTIGE and CUPISCO.
I am Chair of the NCRI MUO-CUP Workstream as part of the Living With and Beyond Cancer CSG, and a member of the NCRI Colorectal Advanced and Adjuvant Disease Subgroup. I am the Principal Investigator of the UCL-UCLH GI + CUP Cancer Translational Research Biobank and a collaborator with the GI Oncology and CUP subgroups at the UCL Cancer Institute and Francis Crick Institute. I am a member of ASCO, ESMO and the Association of Cancer Physicans (UK).
