We are part of the King’s Cancer Prevention Group, who recently moved to King’s, and are led by Professor Peter Sasieni. We are comprised of three groups: The Cancer Screening and Statistics Unit, the Cancer Behavioural Science Unit and the Cancer Prevention Trials Unit (CPTU). Our core funding is provided by Cancer Research UK.
The team has substantial expertise in epidemiology, clinical studies, use of routine registries and databases, as well as related statistical methodologies. Members of the group collaborate in cancer screening research internationally and have a track record of research that has changed cancer screening guidelines and policy.
The team also conducts research evaluating current approaches to screening and investigating potential new screening technologies.

Amy Tickle
Amy is a Cancer Research UK-funded PhD student in the Cancer Prevention Group, supervised by Professor Peter Sasieni. Prior to starting her PhD at King's, Amy completed her MSc in Epidemiology at Imperial College London, where she gained research experience in cancer epidemiology and prevention. During her PhD, she will be investigating progress in early cancer diagnosis and reducing cancer mortality, both locally and nationally. Her work will also focus on producing robust and timely metrics to monitor this progress over time and compare progress between countries.
