Dr Fieke Froeling is a Clinical Senior Lecturer in Medical Oncology at the University of Glasgow with an overall research focus on therapeutic development for pancreatic cancer.

Clinically, she works as Consultant Medical Oncologist at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer. She is the pancreatic cancer lead of the Glasgow Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre, is principal investigator of multiple clinical trials, leads the molecular tumour board for Precision-Panc, and is the UK pancreatic cancer lead in SAMBAI, the CRUK Cancer Inequalities Grand Challenge. Overall, this allows her to focus on developing personalised therapeutic strategies that emanate from discoveries in both basic science and reverse translation from clinical observation.
