Dr Adam Januszewski is a medical oncology consultant at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London and divisional lead for quality and safety for Barts Cancer Centre. He is a thoracic oncologist with a particular interest in personalised medicine, widening access to clinical trials and early-stage lung cancer and has a patient-centred approach to delivering world-class cancer treatments. He has expertise in trials and translational research where he is a chief investigator on international phase 2 and 3 clinical trials.
Dr Januszewski has numerous national roles as a member of the British thoracic oncology group (BTOG) steering committee, UK Lung Cancer Coalition (UKLCC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK) regimen-specific consent form steering committee and performing NICE technology appraisals.
Adam was awarded a PhD in Genomic Medicine in 2019 from Imperial College London while working as a research fellow at the Royal Marsden Hospital. This is in addition to his postgraduate diploma in cancer studies from the Institute of Cancer Research (2014) and Bachelor of Science (2006) having qualified from Imperial College School of Medicine in 2008. Adam has authored many book chapters, scientific publications and presented original research at international conferences.
