"Spire Portsmouth is an excellent environment for patients with friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff."

I have been a consultant medical oncologist specialising in gynaecological cancer (ovarian, uterine and cervical cancer), personalised cancer medicine, and cancer of unknown primary for 23 years. Initially 1998-2003 at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, at Imperial College London from 2003-21 and since June 2021 at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust. I am Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust’s Lead Cancer Clinician.

I was Professor of Medical Oncology 2003-2020 at Imperial College London and since 2020 Professor Emeritus in Medical Oncology at Imperial College London. Since 2017 I have also had deep experience of early clinical drug development in a pharma and biotech setting, first as a Vice President in early clinical development at Astra Zeneca and then as Chief Medical Officer and Head of clinical development at BerGenBio, a clinical stage biotech company. I am also the founder of the biotech company Papyrus Therapeutics, based in the USA.

As well as being Professor Emeritus at Imperial College, I am also Adjunct Professor in Personalised Cancer Medicine at the University of Bergen, Norway and I hold a Visiting Professorship in Gynaecological Cancer at the Guanxi Medical University in Nanning, China.

Previously I held senior leadership roles at Imperial College including that of Director of the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre, Deputy Head of the Division of Cancer at Imperial College, Head of NHS Medical Oncology and Chief of Service for Gynaecological Cancer at Imperial College NHS Trust. I was a committee member of the Cancer Research UK’s CTAAC funding committee and the French INCa national research funding committee for five years.
