Alastair Munro

Alastair Munro is an Honorary Professor at the School of Medicine, University of St Andrews. He focuses on cancer research, clinical oncology, and public health, with a particular interest in smoking cessation strategies, radiation therapy optimization, and the application of mathematical modeling to medical challenges. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, contributing to improving global health outcomes. He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams, as seen in his studies on cancer treatment delays and aspirin’s role in colorectal cancer survival.

Research interests include:

• Cancer treatment methodologies (e.g., radiotherapy, pharmacological adjuvants)
• Qualitative and quantitative analyses of patient experiences and healthcare systems
• Mathematical modeling to predict tumor behavior and treatment efficacy

His publications highlight trends in analyzing clinical outcomes and patient perspectives, blending epidemiological data with computational approaches. Notable collaborative projects involve investigating bystander effects in radiation therapy and the impact of post-diagnosis aspirin use. No formal scientific awards are listed in the provided texts. While no advisees are explicitly mentioned, his research suggests active participation in collaborative academic projects.
