FPM Journal Club with guest host Dr Adam Hexter
Start date: Tuesday 10 May 2022
End date: Monday 10 May 2021 12:00 - 13:00
For this session of Journal Club we welcome our guest host Dr Adam Hexter.
Dr Adam has chosen to review:
Molecular Landscape and Actionable Alterations in a Genomically Guided Cancer Clinical Trial: National Cancer Institute Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) – PubMed (nih.gov)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33048619/
About your host
Dr Adam Hexter currently works as Medical advisor for Eisai’s Neurology Business Group. He is a dual-trained clinician-scientist after completing a surgical NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship at University College London Hospitals and is a ST3 in the Pharmaceutical Medicine Specialty Training programme. In March he was awarded a PhD in regenerative medicine (biologics and cellular therapy) at University College London. Adam chose to discuss this genomically guided cancer trial because it is one of the first major clinical trials to match people who have cancer with treatment based on genetic changes in their tumour rather than their type of cancer.
