Professor Moss who is Professor of Haematology within the Institute of Immunology and Immunotherapy at the University of Birmingham, Deputy Head of the College of Medical and Dental Sciences and he is the Clinical Service Lead for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

He was previously Chair of the Infection and Immunity Board at the Medical Research Council and also served as Chair of the Clinical and Translational Research Committee at Cancer Research UK.
