Allan Hackshaw
Allan Hackshaw This week, to mark World Cancer Day on 4 February, we meet Allan Hackshaw, Professor of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics at the UCL Cancer Institute. Allan chats to us about his current research into the potential implementation of multicancer early detection blood tests. What is your role and what does it involve? . I am Professor of Epidemiology and Medical Statistics, and Director of the Cancer Research UK & UCL Cancer Trials Centre, within the UCL Cancer Institute. I design, conduct, analyse and interpret clinical studies and systematic reviews associated with evaluating cancer therapies and cancer screening technologies. Sometimes this involves finding more effective ways of treating cancers (drugs, surgery and radiotherapy), or reducing treatments to make them safer and more tolerable. One of the best parts of this role is working with people from a wide variety of scientific disciplines within the UK and internationally, and always learning new things from them.
