    I am a Research Fellow in the Medical Statistics research group at Peninsula Medical School. My current research interests lie in the planning and analysis of clinical trials and observational studies. I am particularly interested in the development and application of statistical methodologies to medical research. Some of the projects I am currently working on include:
    • The ENRICH trial of ibrutinib and rituximab for patients with Mantle-cell lymphoma.
    • The POPPY study investigating patient reported outcomes in quality of recovery, postoperative pain and pain relief in adults undergoing day case surgery.
    • The RESOLVE trial of a very low-calorie diet for patients with hepatic steatosis before liver surgery.
    • The RETREAT phase 0 trial of Ritonavir and Lopinavir in NF2-related schwanamatosis patients.
    I co-supervise one statistical PhD, two MD and MSc dissertation students.
