Patient Experience
Professor Mike Fay
Professor Mike Fay brings to the Centre 25 years of clinical oncology and cancer research leadership experience. A dual-trained Medical and Radiation Oncologist, he has particular interest in brain tumours and the development of new imaging and treatment techniques.
Mike completed his undergraduate degree in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Otago and has worked clinically in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US and spent research time in Germany (Universität Tübingen). He has a PhD in the development and clinical translation of theranostics - a treatment using diagnostic imaging to identify if target receptors are present on cancer cells, followed by precision radiation treatment that target these receptors.
Funded by the Mark Hughes Foundation, Mike was named as the inaugural recipient of the HMRI Mid-Career Research Fellowship dedicated to brain cancer. He is the principal investigator in a number of international cancer and theranostics trials and has research collaborations with investigators in Canada, the UK and Germany.
Mike is also a radiation oncologist at GenesisCare.
