About
We are a group of clinicians dedicated to advancing cancer diagnosis and treatment, Our expertise spans across:
- haematological and medical oncology
- surgery
- paediatrics
- immunology
- histopathology
- radiology
As clinicians, we ensure our research is always focused on improving patient care, and is translated from the laboratory to clinic as rapidly as possible. Our main research areas include:
- cancer immunotherapy
- lymphoma
- breast cancer
- colorectal cancer
- oesophageal cancer
- urology
- neuroblastoma
We work collaboratively with basic discovery scientists and other disciplines, including mathematicians, chemists, statisticians and engineers.
We are based in the University and University Hospital Southampton and work closely with other partners to develop new clinical trials, including:
