RESEARCH SUMMARY

My research interests focus on the development of new drugs to treat breast cancer. I also lead a number of clinical studies assessing how novel metabolic imaging signatures may reflect tumour biology.


BIOGRAPHY

Simon Lord has been director of the Early Phase Clinical Trials Unit in the Department of Oncology since 2021. He undertook his medical oncology training in Leeds before moving to Oxford to pursue his DPhil and take up a Cancer Research UK Clinical Research Fellowship. He was appointed Senior Clinical Researcher in Experimental Cancer Therapeutics in the Department of Oncology in 2015 and is a consultant medical oncologist at the Oxford Cancer Centre. He is the Against Breast Cancer Senior Research Fellow at Oriel College and is a module lead for the Precision Cancer Medicine MSc at the University of Oxford. Since 2021 he has also been a Foundation Programme Academic Lead for the Oxford University Clinical Academic  Graduate School (OUCAGS). He is chief and principal investigator for several clinical trials including first in human drug and novel imaging studies.
