Overview
Clinical interests in upper gastrointestinal (GI), urogenital and lung cancers.
Jeremy completed a Bachelor of Science in Bioinformatics prior to graduating from a Bachelor of Medicine with Honours in 2006 from the University of Sydney. He completed his radiation oncology training at Liverpool, Campbelltown and Canberra Hospitals, followed by a Fellowship at the Royal North Shore Hospital.
Jeremy subsequently took up a staff specialist position at the Illawarra and Shoalhaven Cancer Therapy Centres, prior to joining GenesisCare, St Vincent's in Sydney, as a key member of the MRIgRT clinical team.
Jeremy's clinical interests are upper GI, urogenital and lung cancers. Jeremy has experience using the MRIgRT technology to treat different tumour types.
Jeremy is an active clinician researcher and investigator in international and national clinical trials. He has also collaborated with the University of Wollongong on PBMC signatures following radiotherapy and has authored multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals.
He has an interest in modern treatment techniques to improve patient outcomes, and is a member of the MRIgRT team at GenesisCare, St Vincent's in Sydney.
Outside of work, Jeremy enjoys time with his family, which usually revolved around food.
