Professional biography

Dr Justin Loke trained at the University of Cambridge and Oxford Medical School and then completed postgraduate haematology training in Birmingham. His specialist interest is in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and he completed his PhD at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Professor Constanze Bonifer in the epigenetic deregulation of AML, for which he was awarded a number of prizes from the Royal Society of Medicine and the Royal College of Pathologists.

Dr Loke subsequently completed a post-CCT fellowship with CRUK Clinical Trials Unit, Birmingham, and was a Consultant Haematologist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham where he was involved in the development of supportive care studies in AML (PACE) and in the running of IMPACT transplant studies.

He obtained funding as an AACR-CRUK Transatlantic Fellow based in the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, USA with Professor Ben Ebert.

In August 2025, Dr Loke was appointed to the Amit Patel Leukaemia Research Fellowship. This prestigious research fellowship is awarded in memory of Professor Amit Patel, Consultant Haematologist at The Christie, who sadly passed away in 2021.

Dr Loke takes up his new position as Institute Fellow in the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute in November 2025, where he will establish his research group, Myeloid Cancer Biology.
