Current research
I am an academic histopathology trainee who is currently in his pre-doctoral stage of training. My current research interests are broad and include the following:
- Artificial intelligence aids in molecular pathology.
- The management and characterisation of incidental prostate cancer found in patients undergoing a cystoprostatectomy.
- Factors that influence lymph node yield in pancreatoduodenectomy and determination of optimal lymph node harvesting in these specimens.
My doctoral work shall be centred around malignancies of the gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary system focusing on, but not limited to, two cancers of unmet need (from Cancer Research UK), oesophageal and pancreatic. I will be working with a multidisciplinary team from NHS Lothian and the University of Edinburgh to improve pathological understanding of these diseases.
