School of Clinical Sciences Plenary Research Seminars Thursday 6th April 2017, 1.00pm – 2.00pm Professor Anthony Chalmers Professor of Clinical Oncology, University of Glasgow, Chair, NCRI CTRad Combining DNA damage response inhibitors with radiotherapy and temozolomide to improve outcomes for glioblastoma patients Seminar Room A&B, Learning & Research Building Level 2, Southmead Hospital, Bristol BS10 5NB. A light lunch will be available from 12.30pm Professor Anthony Chalmers is Chair of Clinical Oncology at the University of Glasgow. His clinical practice at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre is devoted to the treatment of patients with brain tumours, and he runs the Translational Radiation Biology laboratory in the Institute for Cancer Sciences. His main research interest is in improving outcomes for patients with glioblastoma by combining radiotherapy with targeted drug therapies, but his research interests in radiotherapy-drug combinations extend across tumour sites including lung cancer and mesothelioma. He is Chief Investigator for a portfolio of early phase clinical trials evaluating the oral PARP inhibitor olaparib in combination with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in treatment of glioblastoma, and also leads the randomised phase II SYSTEMS2 trial of radiotherapy dose escalation in mesothelioma. He is Chair of the UK’s Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group (CTRad) and is a scientific theme lead for the Radiotherapy-Drug Combinations Consortium (RaDCom), which is a joint initiative between Cancer Research UK and the UK National Cancer Research Institute.
