Name:  Paul Nankivell    

Job Title: Senior Clinical Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Head and Neck Surgeon

Date joined Inhanse: October 2008

What Do I Do: My position is split between being an academic and clinician.

Research Interests: My PhD investigated trying to improve the management of patients with oral dysplasia (a premalignant condition in the mouth) and I will continue with work on this condition. I also have an interest in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer, and specifically those with recurrent disease.

Studies I work on: I am currently developing studies examining methylation profiles in oral premalignant lesions and their role as potential therapeutic targets along with studies of circulating tumour DNA in head and neck cancer.

Famous for: Nothing - yet.
