Professional background

Dr Maise Al Bakir is a consultant medical oncologist specialising in cellular therapy and lung oncology at University College London Hospital. She is the clinical lead for the development of the solid tumour cell therapy programme, and also delivers cell therapies in haematological and non-cancer indications (e.g., autoimmune diseases).

Maise completed her undergraduate training at King’s College London, and completed her medical oncology training at UCLH. She has also successfully completed her PhD in bioinformatics at the Francis Crick Institute, with the aim of better understanding cancer evolution and treatment resistance through large scale data analyses. She has several first author research publications in high impact journals such as Nature. 

Dr Maise Al Bakir is also the lead for medical oncology training at UCLH.
