Research

He has an extensive research portfolio with approximately £12 million in grant income as a lead applicant and co-applicant to a research programme of approximately £16 million.

He has pioneered research that means men suspected of prostate cancer can avoid invasive biopsies and instead have accurate MRI scans affecting millions of men around the world. He has led international research for less invasive treatments for prostate cancer such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and cryotherapy which lead to fewer side-effects and similar cancer control compared to surgery or radiotherapy. This work has led to the award of the British Medical Journal Award for Innovation (2015) and the Health Services Journal Award for Innovation (2016 and 2018). He has also been named as the UK’s top prostate cancer specialist by GHP Private Healthcare Awards (2018 and 2019), Corporate America Today (2019) and Global 100 (2019).

He has published over 250 peer-reviewed papers in areas that have led to key changes in the way we diagnose and treat men with localised prostate cancer. He currently holds a prestigious £2.1M Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Research Fellowship and leads a team of 20 researchers.
