I am lead pathologist for several research projects in breast cancer. My primary interest is the translational aspect of clinical trials particularly in the neoadjuvant setting. Current trials include ARTemis, PARTNER, PRIMETIME and Neo-RT clinical trials in Addenbrooke’s Hospital. I am also local pathologist for the SEARCH and METABRIC studies. The latter is a multi centre collaborative study examining the molecular biology of the integrative clusters of breast cancer with a substudy specifically looking at precursor lesions.
