I am exploring what the consequences of including lymph node regions in radiotherapy treatments are on a patient's anti-tumour immune response, using translational samples from neo-adjuvant breast radiotherapy trials. This work ultimately aims to provide a clearer picture of how to best use radiotherapy in the era of immunotherapies for patients with early breast cancers. I'm training to be a clinical oncologist - we deliver all non-surgical treatments for cancer including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapies and immunotherapy.
Outside work I enjoy walks, chess and cooking.
