D. Gareth Evans

PeerJ Editor & Reviewer

Summary

Prof Evans has established a national and international reputation in clinical and research aspects of cancer genetics, particularly in neurofibromatosis and breast cancer. He has developed a clinical service for cancer genetics in the North West Region of England. He is an important opinion leader nationally through membership of committees and was chairman of the NICE Familial Breast Cancer Guideline Development Group (2002-2010) is now clinical lead (2011-). He lectures on hereditary breast cancer and cancer syndromes. He developed a national training program for clinicians, nurses & genetic counsellors in breast cancer genetics and established a system for risk assessment and counselling for breast cancer in Calman breast units implemented through a training course (1998-2011)

He has published 854 peer reviewed research publications; 302 as first or senior author. In addition he has published over 150 reviews and chapters and has had a book published by Oxford University Press on familial cancer. In the last 5 years he has raised over £35 million in grants for multicentre and local studies – approximately £31 million to Manchester. He is Chief Investigator on two (£1.59 & £1 million) NIHR program grant (2009-2014 and 2016-2020) on breast cancer risk prediction and also has an NIHR RfPB grant as CI (2011). He has led a successful bid for a Nationally funded NF2 service (£7.5 million pa) that started in 2010 and is involved in the national complex NF1 service
