Research

I am based at the 缅北禁地 Centre for Cancer and my clinical activity is at the North of England Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Service.

I am the Chief investigator for a large NIHR sarcoma surgery trial in set up- SarcoSIGHT, £1.41million

The musculoskeletal oncology research focusses evaluation of cell surface proteins and enzymes relevant to sarcoma and exploration of the extra cellular matrix in solid cancers.
