Meet the team

I am a consultant Chest Surgeon at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and Honorary Clinical Associate Professor at UCL. I am specialized in treating cancers of the chest including lung cancer, thymic tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, and mesothelioma.

I am fully trained and qualified in using the latest technology including Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) and the Da Vinci Robotic System to diagnose and treat a wide variety of diseases of the lung, mediastinum and chest wall. I perform these operations through small incisions with the goal of minimizing discomfort and accelerating recovery. In addition, I focus on techniques and procedures to improve symptoms and quality of life in people with advanced cancer.

I also have an interest in chest wall deformities (pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum) and their surgical (NUSS procedure and the Ravitch technique) or non surgical (dynamic brace and vacuum bell) management.

Another area of clinical interest is surgery for hyperhidrosis with keyhole thoracoscopic approach.

A significant portion of my time is also spent performing scientific research to better understand how tumours form and investigate new ways to treat them. I have developed a strong academic interest leading to a significant number of publications and presentations in various national and international conferences.
