Dr Matthew Loft

I am a Medical Oncologist. I also have a degree in Pharmacy, and I combine clinical practice with academic research at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and University of Melbourne. My research interest is in personalised oncology and improving anticancer medication dosing, looking to develop online calculators to assist with clinical decision making and further inform patient care and outcomes.

I am actively involved in teaching and have numerous peer reviewed publications. My professional memberships include the Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Tumour Group (AGITG), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Medical Oncology Group of Australia (MOGA) and European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO).

My passion is moving from a “one size fits all” treatment approach to individualised and tailored care for all patients.
