Biography
My interest is in first-in-human, first-in-class and Phase 1 clinical trials of novel agents. As Director Physician in Early Phase Oncology, I lead the clinical development of a range of experimental therapies. I review clinical data from the Phase I/II trials and provide input on the strategic direction of the programme. At AstraZeneca we have an exciting portfolio of pipeline drugs, particularly in the DNA Damage Response arena. This offers me a unique opportunity to contribute to scientifically driven combination trials and comparative studies to aid investment decisions. My biggest motivation is giving patients the opportunity to access exciting new therapies to treat cancer. At AstraZeneca, I can do this by interacting with investigators across the world and have the privilege of working with an exceptional team of colleagues. Together, our drive and ambition allow me to make a difference on a scale much greater than that I could hope to achieve in academia.
