Research Interests

My research interests are early phase clinical trials (phase I/II) - Urological malignancy (prostate and bladder cancers).

Current projects include:

  • Chief Investigator Cambridge Neoadjuvant Carcinoma of the Prostate (CANCAP) studies.
  • Clinical studies of investigational drugs prior to radical prostatectomy,  clinicatrials.gov identifiers NCT02064608 (AZD2014) and NCT02324998 (Olaparib).
  • Pre-clinical studies to investigate effect of mTOR inhibition in early, hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
  • Early phase trials in patients with advanced solid tumours (local investigator led, Cancer Research UK and industry collaborations).
  • First in man studies.
