Dr Finn currently splits his time between patient care and laboratory and clinical research. His research interests lie in the development of molecular targeted agents and biomarkers in liver cancer and breast cancer. Dr Finn has served as principal and sub-investigator in trials exploring the use of targeted therapies in breast and hepatocellular cancers. He has a particular interest in identifying predictive markers of response to novel therapeutics. His work has been published in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Lancet Oncology, Cancer Research, Clinical Cancer Research, Hepatology, Cancer Cell and elsewhere. Dr Finn has also given oral presentations at major meetings including American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), European Cancer Conference (ECCO/ ESMO), and the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) and others. An active cancer researcher, he has been involved in the development of several novel therapeutics in cancer medicine. He has brought several practice changing advanced to cancer medicine. He played a lead role in the approval of palbociclib (Ibrance), the first CDK 4/6 inhibitor in cancer medicine, from pre-clinical development to global registration and more recently the combination of atezolizumab and bevacizumab for the treatment of advanced liver cancer.

Dr Finn is a member of ASCO, American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) and the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO). He is on the editorial board of Clinical Cancer Research and Breast Cancer Research. He is the past president of ILCA, the International Liver Cancer Association.
