Professor of Colorectal Surgery, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences
Prof Humes heads a research group focusing on the use of routinely collected data to study the occurrence and consequences of surgical diseases alongside delivering studies on the use of novel interventional and diagnostic devices. He has supervised 7 PhD's to completion and his current research group includes 6 PhD students, 2 NIHR Academic Clinical Fellows, a Clinical Lecturer and a data analyst. He has been awarded over £4.1 million in grant funding and published 115 peer-reviewed articles with a current H-index of 44 (Google Scholar) with over 7500 citations. He has implemented and evaluated the symptomatic FIT pathway in Nottingham and is leading NIHR and CRUK funded studies in this research area currently using local, National (CPRD and SAIL) and International (Danish) data. He was the research lead for the Joint Committee on Higher Surgical Training. He is current Academic Career Development lead in the NIHR BRC in Nottingham and Deputy Director of the Nottingham Integrated Academic Training pathway.

Prof Humes is currently supervising studies on the role of Faecal Immunochemical testing in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. He is leading an NIHR RfPB funded study detailing the use of FIT in follow up of colorectal cancer. He is supervising two NIHR Doctoral fellows undertaking studies on the use of FIT and its implementation in the UK. His is undertaking a TET CRUK funded project on the use of risk stratification in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer using FIT and other parameters.
I completed my PhD on symptom aetiology in diverticular disease and the epidemiology of perforated diverticular disease. Since completion of my PhD my post doctoral work has focused on the epidemiology of complicated diverticular disease, venous thromboembolism following surgery, appendicitis and inflammatory bowel disease. I have supervised 3 PhD students on studies relating to surgical training in the UK.
