About Paul

Professor Paul Horgan is the St Mungo Professor of Surgery in the School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing at the University of Glasgow. He holds qualifications including PhD and FRCS and serves as Head of the Academic Unit of Surgery. His clinical practice is based in the colorectal services at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where he specializes in advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. The unit provides diagnosis, staging, and resection of primary and secondary colorectal cancer, particularly liver metastases, and is distinctive in performing synchronous colon and hepatic resections. Professor Horgan's research centers on translational clinical research in surgery, with a focus on colorectal and pancreatic cancer. Key areas include systemic inflammatory responses, inflammation-based prognostic scores such as the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), body composition analysis via CT, tumor microenvironment factors, neoadjuvant therapy responses, socioeconomic influences on outcomes, and predictors of survival and recurrence in colorectal cancer patients undergoing curative resection.
