Research Fellowship

Our fellowship programme aim to nurture academics in the field of colorectal surgery.

Fellowship is for surgical trainees and scientists who are in the early stages of their career.

A research fellow will work under the supervision of principal investigators and supervisors. The tenure is normally for 3 years aiming to obtain a higher degree (PhD).

We have a substantial clinical and laboratory research portfolio, with a number of major peer-reviewed grant-funded programmes and several project grants supporting clinical and basic biological research.

In addition to clinical research and randomised controlled trials, our research themes are the:

  • genetics of colorectal cancer
  • development of screening technologies for colorectal cancer
  • chemoprevention of colorectal cancer

All of these themes focus on the ultimate aim of reducing the incidence and mortality from large bowel malignancy.

Our research interests also include:

  • enhanced recovery after surgery
  • surgery for incontinence/obstructed defaecation
  • surgery for inflammatory bowel disease
