Biography

Francis Mussai is a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Birmingham, UK and leads a research group investigating the immunosuppressive microenvironment created by both paediatric and adult malignancies. The group has identified key aspects of how arginine catabolism by both tumour cells and tumour associated myeloid cells can alter anti-cancer immunity. He is also a Consultant Paediatric Oncologist and is involved in the development of early phase clinical trials for paediatric malignancies in the UK and Europe.
