Irshad Group’s Future Leaders

Dr Paul R. Buckley, Dr Helen Kakkassery and Thanussuyah Alaguthurai, three members of the Tumour Immunology Group at King’s College London, have been nominated to the Future Leaders Working Group of Cancer Grand Challenges. Representing Team SAMBAI, they will help shape the Future Leaders Programme, which nurtures the next generation of cancer researchers.

Their appointment underscores their leadership in driving innovation within cancer immunology, and their commitment to tackling disparities in cancer outcomes among populations of African descent. Through this role, they will help foster global collaboration and support emerging scientific talent in the cancer research community.

Moreover, Dr Kakkassery was awarded ‘best talk’ at the annual Future Leaders Retreat that took place in Milan this month: as always, Helen making us proud!
