Mr Lau read medicine and was awarded a doctorate of philosophy at Oxford University. He was appointed as the first Consultant Thoracic Surgeon for St Bartholomew’s Hospital where he set up the thoracic surgery service. After introducing VATS lobectomy and navigation bronchoscopy programmes, his team introduced the first dedicated 24/7 thoracic robotic surgery programme in the UK. Aside from building a highly specialised, state of the art thoracic surgery unit offering broad expertises from advanced lung resection, mesothelioma surgery to lung volume reduction surgery for severe COPD and emphysema, his main clinical and research interest is in developing navigation bronchoscopy and image-guided thoracic surgery in the hybrid theatre to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes. In February 2018 he led his team to perform the first in the world endobronchial microwave ablation of lung tumour, and is chief investigator for the first clinical trial due to report in ERS 2021.
