James Ritchie

James says that he wants to live in a world where the word “cancer” no longer holds any fear, and he has dedicated his professional career to achieving this aim, having been involved in cancer drug discovery and development since 2001. His experience has spanned the entire continuum from early discovery through to pivotal clinical development and he is currently the drug development scientist at Cancer Research UK’s Centre for Drug Development. The remit of the CDD is the translation and early clinical development of new anti-cancer agents covering everything from small molecules to immune and cellular based therapies.
