In 2018 he was awarded a Cancer Research UK Clinical Scientist Fellowship at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, prior to becoming a Group Leader in the Early Cancer Institute in 2023.

His group aims to improve outcomes for patients with urological malignancies through developing clinically useful methods to predict tumour behaviour, and implementing strategies to prevent incurable disease. In October 2024 Tom was appointed as the Krishnan-Ang Distinguished Group Leader in the Urological Malignancies Virtual Institute (UMVI). His appointment was funded through a generous donation by the Krishnan-Ang Foundation to Trinity College.
