Profile
I am a lecturer in Epidemiology and Genetic Epidemiology in the Department of Population Health Sciences.
My undergraduate degree was in Medicine (MBChB, 2013, Bristol), and immediately after this I joined the Wellcome Trust 4-Year PhD programme in Molecular, Genetic and Lifecourse Epidemiology (PhD, 2017, Bristol). I joined the University of Leicester in 2017 as a postdoctoral research associate, working on the discovery of common genetic variants associated with lung function. In 2019 I was awarded two fellowships by the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund and the British Heart Foundation Accelerator Award, to study causal relationships between cardiorespiratory comorbidity, and its relationship with air pollution.
Since 2020, I have been involved in the development of two longitudinal cohorts (the EXCEED study, and the UK-REACH study). I am a member of the Wellcome Longitudinal Population Studies COVID-19 Steering Group, and have contributed to the design of questionnaires to understand the far-reaching impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on health and wellbeing. I have a keen interest in the mental health and wellbeing of the healthcare workforce, and the general population.
