Personal Quote:

I was born and grew up in London and it was always my goal to return and treat patients in this region. I have always been interested in surgical oncology, as this subspecialty plays a crucial role in the multidisciplinary approach in caring for our cancer patients. I think a key to continuing the improvements in patient outcomes will be to focus on translational research and link the basic science researchers with surgeons/clinicians that have an interest for novel therapies and approaches to treatment for cancer patients.
