Speaker Bio
Professor Powles formed and ran, at the Royal Marsden Hospital until 2003, one of the largest and most innovative Blood Cancer Units worldwide. In it he was responsible for the first successful bone marrow transplant in Europe, undertaken in 1973. He was the first to use cyclosporine and acyclovir and reported the first autologous stem cell transplant for myeloma. For these and other developments, he was appointed Commander of the British Empire CBE by the Queen in 2003. He now runs a similar unit in the private sector at Cancer Clinic London. Read full bio.
