Gilbert Fruhwirth is Professor of Molecular Imaging in the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences at King’s College London where he leads the Imaging Therapies and Cancer group. He assumes responsibility as Education Lead for Cancer, is further affiliated with the School of Bioscience Education, and serves as Associate Editor for Molecular Therapy. Gilbert Fruhwirth studied Technical Chemistry with a focus on Biotechnology at Graz University of Technology, where he also completed his PhD in Biochemistry under the auspices of Prof Hermetter. In 2006, he joined The Richard Dimbleby Department of Cancer Studies led by Prof Tony Ng at King’s College London’s Randall Division of Cellular and Molecular Bioscience, where he studied protein-protein interactions important for cell migration while developing optical imaging tools to observe cancer spread. In 2013, he established his own research group at King’s College London’s Division of Imaging Sciences and Biomedical Engineering, focusing on the development of multimodal molecular imaging toolboxes dedicated to the in vivo tracking of diverse cell types. He holds long-standing expertise in advanced cell tracking in the cancer, immune, and stem cell arenas including methodologies suitable for clinical translation. Gilbert Fruhwirth received Tenure in 2016, was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2018 and further to Reader in 2022 after joining the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In 2025, he was appointed as Professor of Molecular Imaging. His research vision is exploiting multi-modal multi-scale imaging to advance the understanding of cancer and to boost the development and clinical translation of advanced therapies in oncology and immune medicine.
