Department/Directorate Information :

The Division of Radiotherapy and Imaging brings together research groups that work on how to use radiation therapy, guided by state-of-the art imaging techniques, in the most effective way to cure cancer. Our work is based on the central idea that the best outcomes will be achieved by delivering curative radiation doses to tumours, while limiting radiation damage of neighbouring normal tissues. Our therapy often includes adding drug treatments alongside radiation therapy as a means of killing cancer cells more effectively and, at the same time, activating anti-tumour immune responses. Preclinical work includes research that combines radiation therapy with radiation sensitisers and biological response modifiers (for example innate immune activators, immune checkpoint inhibitors and other drugs that modify the tumour microenvironment) to maximise anti-tumour efficacy and give protection against tumour recurrence. Multiple translational clinical studies seek to address these themes through our collaborators in the Royal Marsden Hospital. Overall, our mission is to cure more patients with fewer immediate and long-term side effects of treatment.

What we offer

• A dynamic and supportive research environment
• Access to state-of-the art facilities and professional development opportunities
• Collaboration with leading researchers in the field
• Competitive salary and pension
