new life peer. I had simply accepted that the only person called
Professor Kakkar in Who's Who was our man when, in fact, it wasn't.
Had I checked the forenames against the new life peers list of an
earlier posting, I would have realised that. I apologise for any
confusion this has been caused. The best information on the new peer
may be found on Wikipedia, which I've pasted in below:
Ajay Kumar Kakkar, Baron Kakkar (born April 1964) is Professor of
Surgical Sciences and Dean for External Relations at Barts and The
London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of
London.
Kakkar received his medical education at King's College Hospital
Medical School, University of London. He has research interests in the
prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolic disease and cancer-
associated thrombosis and, in particular, the role of antithrombotic
therapy in prolonging survival in cancer and the role of coagulation
serine proteases in tumour biology.
Kakkar is Chair of the Clinical Quality Directorate of University
College London Partners Academic Health Science Partnership, Director
of the Thrombosis Research Institute, London, and lectures and
publishes widely on his specialism. He has worked with the NHS on its
strategy to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Among the awards Kakkar has received are Hunterian Professor, Royal
College of Surgeons of England 1996, the David Patey Prize, Surgical
Research Society of Great Britain and Ireland 1996, the Knoll William
Harvey Prize, International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis 1997
and the James IV Association of Surgeons Fellow 2006. He is Chair of
the Board of Governors at Alleyn's School, Dulwich, where he was
educated, and a Trustee of the Dulwich Estate.
... He will sit on the crossbenches.
