Justin Davies Clinical Director of Digestive Diseases and Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital, and an Associate Lecturer at the University of Cambridge. His thesis was written on molecular stool screening for colorectal cancer, and he is the recipient of the Patey Prize, John of Arderne Medal, ACPGBI UK Travelling Fellowship and Price Thomas Travelling Fellowship. He is a member of Council of The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and of The Royal Society of Medicine Section of Coloproctology. His main research interests are in improving surgical outcomes for colorectal cancer and salvage surgery for anal cancer, as well as methods for reducing surgical site infection and advancing minimally invasive surgery for malignant and benign conditions.
