New enough, long enough, and verified. No copyvios detected. The phrase "arresting gliomas" should be altered; it is close paraphrasing of the text. Otherwise, no close paraphrasing detected. Some edits are needed for neutrality. Mainly, things like invited speaking gigs and peer-reviewing articles aren't noteworthy for an academic. Everyone does them. The "Author of three books and over 500 articles" line is a bit promotional in the lead; it doesn't really need to be present in the lead at all, in my opinion. If you'd like it to be, it shouldn't be so front-and-center, as volume isn't an indicator of notability. Both hooks are short enough, sourced, and somewhat interesting. I prefer the main hook, as "tumoricidal" is a bit obscure for the main page; readers will not know what that means. Please address the couple of issues above and then ping me. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:26, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13:Thanks mate for the review. I have made the suggested changes. Please have a look. jojo@nthony (talk) 05:22, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

@Tachs: The "has served as a peer-reviewer" can still go. For context, even graduate students sometimes get requests to peer review articles. Literally anyone who's published a single article can be called upon to peer review. It's not a marker of quality. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 05:57, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: Noted and peer review part removed. jojo@nthony (talk) 15:15, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
