We are delighted to welcome Dr Mandeep Dhillon as our latest Key Opinion Leader. 

Mandeep leads KQ Labs - an accelerator programme for high-growth potential companies in the area of data-driven health, delivered by the Francis Crick Institute and funded by LifeArc. KQ Labs has recently selected its 6th cohort of exceptional start-ups which will start late October 2023.

Drawing on his experience of hands-on support to help health start-ups scale and his previous career as an investor and consultant, Mandeep brings a wide perspective on what works, a commercial mindset and an incredible network.

"1 in 2 of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. Diagnosis and on-going treatment is an incredibly stressful and scary time for patients and their loved ones. Information is seemingly everywhere online; however, quality and trust is often lacking. This can make the patient and carer experience worse. The Cancer Platform will deliver a globally trusted resource for patients to better help them navigate their cancer journey. I look forward to supporting the Cancer Platform on their venture to bring greater awareness and agency to every cancer journey."

“As a data-driven health innovation, Cancer Platform needs to be informed by best practice and carefully consider how to remain free-to-use and maintain user trust over the long term. These are areas where Mandeep has deep expertise and his insights and advice have already influenced our development journey. We are thrilled to welcome him officially as one of our Key Opinion Leaders.” Tony Colville Managing Director, Cancer Awareness Trust.
