Eric Ofori Aboagye is a Professor of Cancer Pharmacology and Molecular Imaging at Imperial College London. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and was awarded the British Institute of Radiology Sir Mackenzie Davidson Medal in 2009. He is co-director of the Imperial College London Experimental Cancer Medicine's Centre.

Early life and education

Aboagye was born in Ghana.[1] He studied pharmacy at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in 1989.[1] He moved to the United Kingdom shortly after, and completed a master's degree in pharmaceutical analysis at the University of Strathclyde.[1] He earned his doctoral degree at the Cancer Research UK Beatson Laboratories in Glasgow. He was a postdoctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins University.[2]

Research and career

Aboagye joined Imperial College London as a research associate in 1998.[1] He was promoted to Professor in 2006. He is interested in molecular imaging and the development of novel imaging for cancer diagnosis.[1] He is Director of the Comprehensive Cancer Imaging Centre, which combines synthetic chemistry, software development and biomedical science in an effort to diagnose and treat cancer patients.[3]

He has demonstrated that artificial intelligence is significantly more accurate than blood tests in predicting the survival rates of ovarian cancer.[4] For the study, Aboagye used TexLab to analyse CT scans and establish the health risks associated with different tumours.[4] The software was trained to analyse the shape, size, genetic composition and structure of tumours.[4] Aboagye have developed imaging tools capable of characterising choline, glycogen and fatty acid metabolism.[5]
