Such a pleasure working on such a great project and getting my first publication! A lot of work from the entire team! 😃

The abysmal state of global research funding on key domains such as surgery, radiotherapy and health services. Combined less than 4%. How have research funding organisations managed to get their strategic priorities so wrong? ⁦Pramesh CS⁩ ⁦ thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Fascinating analysis of global cancer research funding 2016-2020. One of most interesting findings is surgery is involved in the cure of most cancers yet receives only 1.4% of funding versus 20.1% on drug treatments thelancet.com/journals/lanon…. Michael Head

Pleased to have been involved in this and really astonishing that radiotherapy #radonc and surgery together account for less than 5% of global public and philanthropic cancer research funding

Excited to share in The Lancet Oncology our paper which helps reveal the global landscape of cancer research funding. We hope findings will guide more impactful and equitable allocation 🌍

Kudos to a fantastic, hardworking team for making this study happen!
