Research interests

Lead Clinician for GU clinical trials at the Edinburgh Cancer Centre. Clinical lead for radiation research and lead of the Edinburgh Radiation Research Collaborative (ERRC) with research collaborations with the Edinburgh University Departments of Electrical Engineering, Royal Dick Veterinary School, Clinical Research Imaging Centre (CRIC) Edinburgh Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine (IGMM) and Dept of Chemistry. My research interest is to establish how a tumour and the patients normal tissue is responding to radiotherapy by establishing biomarkers of response via artificial intelligence analysis of time of treatment imaging, cell free DNA and breath analysis biomarkers. If successful this would allow personalisation of radiotherapy dose to maximise cure and minimise toxicity
