Dr Chloe Barr

Dr Barr is a Specialist Registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Manchester investigating novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for gynaecological malignancy. In 2010, she graduated from the University of Liverpool with MBChB honours and commenced the Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist training programme in 2013.  In 2018, she joined the clinical research team at St. Mary’s Hospital Manchester, where, in addition to her research, she works clinically looking after and treating women with gynaecological cancers.

She works for Professor Crosbie treating and monitoring women with womb cancer who are unable to undergo surgical treatment, either due to fertility reasons or other medical issues. Her experience as a clinician and researcher has made her passionate about improving services for women with womb cancer, including early detection, prevention and personalised treatment.  This inspired her to be a part of the founding team of Peaches Womb Cancer Trust, a charity dedicated to raising awareness about womb cancer and funding ground breaking womb cancer research.
