David Jayne

David Jayne is Bowel Cancer UK and RCS Engl. Professor of Surgery and Honorary Consultant Surgeon at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. His research interests focus on novel therapies for colorectal cancer and preclinical cancer models through to late phase surgical trials. He has previously held a multi centre grant from the MRC/NIHR IntAct study – a European randomised controlled trial of fluorescence angiography to prevent anastomotic leak following rectal cancer surgery. He was also co-applicant on two EPSRC awards (EP/N0249X/1 and EP/V006185/1) to develop steerable lasers for endoluminal ablation of colorectal neoplasia. Jayne has utilised the EPR mechanism of particle uptake in his imaging studies and wishes to explore the uptake mechanism in tumour imaging, both through a passive and targeted approach.
