Professor Nutting is Consultant Clinical Oncologist and Chair in Radiation Oncology at the Royal Marsden Hospital, and The Institute of Cancer Research London. He is the Past President of the British Oncological Association. He is a world leading oncologist specialising in the management of cancer of the head and neck, thyroid, thorax and other forms.

Advanced Oncotherapy's Chairman, Lord Evans of Watford, said, "I am delighted to welcome Professor Chris Nutting to the Board. His background and current daily experience of radiotherapy treatment qualify him as an ideal team member to help us develop and launch our game changing cancer treatment technology. I am also delighted that Sanjeev has agreed to join us and am sure that his energy and commercial experience will add great value to the executive team. Finally, I thank Chris Boshoff and Sneh Khemka for their contribution to date and wish them well in their new roles."

 

Commenting on his appointment, Professor Nutting said, "I believe that practitioners around the world will be as excited as I am about Advanced Oncotherapy's technology which is set to deliver better outcomes to more cancer patients."
