Sub-specialisation
sarcoma, central nervous system tumours
I currently work within the children's and young people cancer service at University College Hospital (CYPCS), site-specialising within the sarcoma service.
I completed my MD (University of Leeds) at the Candlelighter's laboratory (CRUK, Leeds) in the application of molecular diagnostics in rhabdomyosarcoma. I currently have a strong interest in clinical trials in sarcoma, acting as principal investigator for a number of national and international trials.
I am actively involved in coordinating sarcoma research at a national level as a member of the CCLG Sarcoma working Group, and am a member of the Connective Tissue Oncology Society. I am also a board member of the Teenage and Young Adults with Cancer (TYAC) group - a professional group for specialists in young people's cancer care.
I regularly teach and lecture on the management of sarcomas in children and adolescents, as well as generic lecturing on aspects of adolescent cancer care.
