Biral is a Consultant Urological Surgeon in Gloucestershire based at the Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General Hospitals. His association with UROLINK dates back to 2002 when he was awarded a Urolink travel award. He grew up in Kenya, but did all his medical and surgical training in the UK.
He has, however, spent some time working in hospitals in Kenya and the Caribbean. His special interest lies in the management of Urological cancers. His research interest includes the epidemiology of prostate cancer and urological diseases amongst African and Caribbean populations. He has always played an active role in the training of doctors, specialists and other allied health care professionals, and has links with the University of Bristol. He is a member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons, European Association of Urology, Royal College of Surgeons of England, and the Bristol Urological Institute.
Within the UROLINK committee, Biral's major responsibility is to organise and administer the organisations' grants and awards. He is keen to develop further links with institutions throughout the world.
