Dr Anna Wilkins is a Clinician Scientist at the Institute of Cancer Research, London, and an Honorary Consultant in Clinical Oncology at the Royal Marsden, where she treats prostate and bladder cancers. Anna’s research combines human translational science with pre-clinical models to investigate how different features of the tumour microenvironment, including non-cancerous cells, might help prostate and bladder tumours survive after radiotherapy.
Anna completed both her undergraduate and postgraduate medical studies at the University of Cambridge in 2001, before travelling to Myanmar to work on a large scale HIV/AIDS project.
On her return to London in 2008, she underwent specialist clinical oncology training and in 2013 was awarded a Cancer Research UK Clinical Research Training Fellowship at the ICR. While studying for her PhD, Anna led a number of projects, based on the CHHiP trial in prostate cancer, to develop predictive models for the efficacy and toxicity of hypofractionated radiotherapy. In 2019, Anna was awarded a Crick Postdoctoral Clinical Fellowship to pursue her research in Dr Erik Sahai’s laboratory, and she continues to study the impact of radiotherapy on different aspects of the tumour microenvironment.
