Patrick LynchPatrick Lynch is Professor of Medicine, Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Nutrition, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre. He has been a member of InSiGHT since its inception and was Co-chair 2009-11. He was a member of the predecessor organisations, the LCPG and ICG-HNPCC. His current interest is the development of a web-based platform for communication of risk information within mutation-positive families. He ran the 2016 New York Marathon to raise funds for InSiGHT. |

Ian FraylingIan qualified in Clinical Medicine at Cambridge. After initial training in all branches of pathology, he studied DNA repair for his PhD. He is the only Genetic Pathologist in NHS service, at the Institute of Medical Genetics, Cardiff.Ian was the Family Cancer Clinic Research Fellow at St Mark's Hospital, 1993-1998. He now concentrates on variant interpretation, genotype-phenotype correlations and systematic testing of incident cancers to identify hereditary cases. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, a UK National External Quality Assessor of MMR IHC, an Honorary Senior Clinical Research Fellow at Cardiff University, and a Visiting CI at Cancer Council New South Wales. He is a co-author on the upcoming 5th Edition of the WHO/IARC Classification of Tumours "Blue Books" series. (orcid.org/0000-0002-3420-0794) Ian is also a member of InSiGHT Council and the Variant Interpretation Committee; a member of CGAICC; the steering group of the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database; an Honorary Medical Adviser to Lynch Syndrome UK; and Treasurer of the UK Cancer Genetics Group, inter alia. In 2017, Ian was conferred with Honorary Fellowship of the Faculty of Pathology of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in recognition of his outstanding lifetime contribution to the practice of pathology and received the Association of Clinical Pathologists' Dyke Foundation Medal. He will deliver the Goudie Medal lecture in January 2019 at the Pathological Society's Winter Meeting. |
