    Year qualified: 2000

    Place of primary qualification: University of Cambridge

    Professor Prabhakar Rajan is a leading urologist specialising in prostate cancer diagnostics, robotic surgery, and testicular cancer. He graduated from the University of Cambridge, completed surgical and urology training in Scotland, and undertook a fellowship in robotic surgery at the Karolinska Institutet and University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. Since 2015, he has been based at St Bartholomew’s Hospital (Barts Health NHS Trust) and University College London NHS Foundation Trust, where he leads the Uro-oncology service.

    Prof. Rajan holds a PhD in prostate cancer from Newcastle University and completed post-doctoral research at the University of Glasgow and the CR-UK Beatson Institute. In 2012, he became the first urologist in Scotland to receive the Royal College of Surgeons of England/CR-UK Clinician Scientist Fellowship in Surgery. He now leads an internationally recognised cancer research group at the Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, and runs clinical trials exploring new treatments for prostate and testicular cancers.

    He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the Higher Education Academy, and the Alan Turing Institute, and serves on national professional bodies for uro-oncology.

    Outside of work, Prof. Rajan enjoys cycling, running, and travelling to remote destinations where he practises his Tamil—and occasionally Hindi and Spanish.
