Developing new cancer treatments

Herbie Newell is Professor of Cancer Therapeutics at the Northern Institute for Cancer Research in Newcastle upon Tyne. His expertise is in cancer pharmacology - understanding how cancer drugs work inside the body. His research focuses on developing new cancer drugs and he has over 30 years experience in this area.

He is currently working on 'targeted' cancer drugs that block the action of specific faulty proteins found within cancer cells. Working closely with Professor Hilary Calvert, he tests many of these new cancer treatments in early-stage clinical trials.
