Mustafa Djamgoz PhD, FCSM, FRSM

Dr. Mustafa Djamgoz, Ph.D., FCSM, FRSM is a graduate of Imperial College London (first-class BSc degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Biophysics). He became a Professor of Neurobiology in 1995, and later (2005), a Professor of Cancer Biology. He worked on the electrophysiology and synaptic plasticity of the retina for more than 20 years before becoming interested in the pathophysiology of cancer! With his highly unusual scientific background in neuroscience, he has introduced novel techniques aiming at early diagnosis and non-toxic therapy of solid cancers. This work has led to a new vision of the cancer process. His approach is ‘integrated’ and a new drug has reached a pre-clinical stage. Professor Djamgoz has published 5 books, and more than 200 primary research papers and has trained more than 30 PhDs. His new book called “BEAT CANCER in Ten Steps” (co-authored with Professor Jane Plant) was published in June 2014. His scientific consultancies and granting agencies include the Medical Research Council (UK), The Wellcome Trust, Breast Cancer Campaign, Prostate Cancer Charity, and Prostate UK. Prof Djamgoz is the recipient of the Huxley Memorial Medal and Japanese Government Research Award for Foreign Specialist. He has served as a Trustee of Breast Cancer Care and as the Chairman of the Science Council of the College of Medicine.
