Kiana Collins
DPhil Student
DPhil thesis
- I am a DPhil student in the Cancer Science Programme which is funded by Cancer Research UK. My project is on personalised monitoring intervals for cancer surveillance
- I am focusing on developing an algorithm that is capable of effectively stratifying a patient by their risk of progression or recurrence and then using this information to inform when to re-measure or cease monitoring.
- My background is in biological sciences, economics and demography. I have a MSc in Population Health from the London School of Economics and Political Science where I was awarded the Titmuss Prize for best overall performance.
