What I'm looking for

I seek a role advancing prostate/ GU cancer drug development and translational research, with collaborative academic teams, teaching opportunities, and leadership in clinical trials.

I am a board-certified medical oncologist with over a decade of clinical and research experience across leading tertiary centres in Israel and the United Kingdom, currently serving as a Specialty Doctor in the Prostate Cancer Targeted Therapy Group at the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital.

I have extensive experience in early- and late-phase clinical trials, including serving as Sub-Investigator/Lead Sub-Investigator on Phase I–III trials, leading investigator-initiated studies, and conducting translational research focused on targeted therapies, proteomic analysis and biomarker development. I have authored 20+ peer-reviewed publications and presented at major international conferences.

I am recognised for academic leadership, teaching and multidisciplinary collaboration, and I contribute as a clinical advisor and in advisory roles with industry and research working groups to advance science-driven, patient-centred cancer care.
