His research interests have also concerned head and neck cancer, particularly on the objective assessment of speech rehabilitation in patients undergoing treatment for oral cancer, the role of viruses in recurrent and locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, sentinel node biopsy in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and lymph node mapping in the head and neck and gene mutations in oral cancer.
His work in plastic, reconstructive surgery for the head and neck has led him to receive awards such as the John Baron Prize, the Mentor Prize, the British Journal of Plastic Surgery Prize, and the Mowlem Award.
