Biography
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Physics from Durham University in 2000, and have worked in the field of clinical trials since 2008. In 2014 I obtained an M.Sc. in Quantitative Methods for Science, Social Science and Medicine from Lancaster University.
I worked from 2008-2018 at the Liverpool Cancer Trials Unit (LCTU), based at the University of Liverpool. At the LCTU I worked variously as a data manager, trial coordinator, and statistician in medical statistics. Disease areas of the studies on which I worked included haematological and pancreatic cancer, and chronic non-cancer conditions such as diabetes.
In April 2018 I joined the Global Health Trials Unit at LSTM as a medical statistician, where I have provided statistical support to clinical trials and studies in a variety of diseases including malaria In pregnancy, diagnostic studies for TB, RSV, sepsis, and administering probiotics to infants to improve gut health.
I have also served on the LSTM Research Ethics Committee (REC) as co-Chairman and provide teaching support for modules in epidemiology and statistics for M.Sc. courses run at LSTM.
I am currently a member of the Ministry of Defecnce Research Ethics Committee (MODREC).
