Biography:
I did my PhD at the MRC-LMCB, UCL completing this in 2003 and then completed my clinical training in Oxford.
I was accepted onto the Oxford Academic Foundation programme and, having become interested in human genetics, took time away from clinical training to gain postdoctoral experience. I was awarded a Wellcome MB-PhD postdoctoral Fellowship and I did this in Julian Knight’s group at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics.
Upon completion of this I specialised in Medical Oncology. I see skin cancer patients as a Consultant in the Oxford Cancer Centre. I am co-lead for Immunology on the NIHR Oncology Translational Research Group.
