Additionally, he serves as a Consultant Medical Oncologist, Chair of Gastrointestinal Cancer Medicine, and the Director of GI Cancer Research at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Queen Mary University of London. Prof. Gerlinger’s academic journey began with studying Medicine at the University of Munich, Harvard Medical School, and Imperial College.
He earned his research MD from the Institute of Immunology in Munich. His training in General Medicine and Medical Oncology took place in Zurich and London, followed by post-doctoral research training in Zurich and at the CRUK London Research Institute, now known as The Francis Crick Institute. In 2013, Prof. Gerlinger joined the Royal Marsden Hospital as a consultant in GI cancer and the Institute of Cancer Research as a research team leader. He was appointed to his current roles at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Queen Mary University London in 2022.
Prof. Gerlinger leads a team that conducts clinical trials and develops precision medicine biomarkers and new immunotherapies for both early-stage and advanced or metastatic bowel, stomach, and oesophageal cancers. Prof. Gerlinger is an active faculty member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the European Society of Medical Oncology Annual Meetings 2022. He also contributes to the scientific committees of the American Association of Cancer Research.
