Transcend Medical Advisor

We are really excited to introduce Dr Steven Nottley (BSc (Hons) MB BChir PGCert FRCPath) as the formal medical adviser for @transcendsarcoma. Many of you will have met Dr Steve (@path0l0gist_ ) at some of our events already and he’s been an integral part of the charity since day 1, he was in fact one of the key inspirations in getting established as a charity. Here’s a little about Steve, from Steve himself:

I am a pathologist, a doctor who diagnoses diseases by examining tissue under a microscope. I have a special interest in diagnosing soft tissue sarcomas and have spent the last four years pursuing a PhD studying these tumours. I became interested in sarcomas because they are genetically very different from other types of cancers. Unfortunately, due to their rarity, there is not as much research into understanding the biology of these diseases or developing treatments. This is why I wanted to get involved with Transcend Sarcoma. I aim to use my clinical and scientific knowledge to help Transcend target and fund specific research projects that will make the most difference for people with translocation-associated sarcomas.
