Professor Rajan holds the Chair of Urology and Robotic Surgery at Queen Mary University of London, and is a Consultant Urologist at Barts Health and University College London Hospitals NHS Trusts.  He has expertise in robotic prostatectomy for early prostate cancer, and surgery for advanced testis cancer.

Professor Rajan studied physiology and medicine at Cambridge University, and completed junior surgical and senior urological residencies in Edinburgh and Glasgow, respectively.  He undertook his PhD in prostate cancer biology at Newcastle University, and post-doctoral research at the CR-UK Beatson Institute and University of Glasgow.  He is currently a group leader at Barts Cancer Institute, where his laboratory research focusses on genetic changes in prostate cancer cells that underlie disease recurrence.

His clinical research examines outcomes following robotic prostatectomy and explores minimally-invasive surgical interventions for testis cancer to reduce chemotherapy-related side effects.
