• Biography

  I came to Manchester in 1998 to take up my career in Medical Oncology. During my training, I researched the relationship between cancer (in particular upper GI cancers) and the immune system and attained a PhD based on this research. I continued my service and research interests into upper GI cancers, neuroendocrine cancers and other rare cancers when I became a consultant at The Christie in 2006. I also have an interest in developing medical education. I became the Training Programme Director for Medical Oncology in 2009 to develop medical education
