SAPC Doctoral Winner 2025

Congratulations to SAPC 2025 Doctoral Winner, Lily Taylor, Cambridge University

Dr Lily Taylor is a Research Associate in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge. She recently completed her PhD on risk stratification of screening intervals and FIT thresholds in bowel cancer screening, comprised of five multi-methods studies. As a post-doc, she is continuing to work on risk-stratified screening for bowel cancer as part of the Bowel Star UK study funded by Cancer Research UK, a cohort study trialling risk-stratified intervals for bowel cancer screening in England and Scotland. Lily’s primary area of interest is risk stratification of cancer screening, and she is also interested in the use of personal cancer risk beyond screening, for example in stratifying follow-up protocols or adjuvant treatment options, and across other cancer types.
