He performs clinical trials using intra-operative mass spectrometry (known as the iknife) for improving the precision of the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer. Mr. Kinross' research is establishing if metabonomic approaches such as these can be used for stratifying the treatment of both early and advanced cancers. As part of this work, he studies the role of the gut microbiome in the aetiology of colon cancer, Crohn's disease and obesity. Finally, he works as part of a team that is building next-generation, immersive simulators for use in major incidents and trauma training.
