Dr Kezia Gaitskell, Consultant Pathologist and Honorary Visiting Fellow at Oxford Population Health, has been awarded a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Future Leaders Fellowship. Dr Gaitskell was previously an NIHR Clinical Lecturer at OUCAGS.
The Fellowship will support Dr Gaitskell’s research programme that uses large-scale population data to investigate the risk factors and origins of different types of endometrial and ovarian cancers. The programme will also develop methods to integrate digital and molecular pathology techniques into large cohort studies.
The UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships provides long-term support for talented people in universities, businesses, and other research and innovation environments. The aim of the scheme is to develop the next wave of world-class research and innovation leaders in academia and business.
