Profile

I joined the university in 2009 as part of the Late Effects Research Team in the Academic Unit of Clinical Oncology. As part of this team, I was project manager for a feasibility study investigating models of follow-up care in cancer survivors. I am a co-investigator on a study looking at return to work in cancer survivors and a pilot study, Fitness To Treat: effectiveness of a clinical assessment for older men with cancer (FiTT).

I joined ScHARR as a Research Fellow in May 2013 and my current position is Manager for the Sheffield spoke of the NIHR Research Design Service Yorkshire and Humber (RDS YH). As an RDS advisor, I offer generalist advice and support to researchers to develop and design high quality research proposals for submission to the NIHR and other national, peer-reviewed funding competitions for applied health or social care research.

My previous role was a post-doctoral researcher at The Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford investigating the genetics of diet-induced insulin resistance. Previous research has included working on the Biological Atlas of Insulin Resistance (BAIR), an International Consortium set up to characterise the molecular basis of insulin action and insulin resistance.

Current projects

• FiTT: Fitness to treat in older men with cancer
• ATWORK: Return to work in cancer survivors

Research interests: My research interests are investigating the long-term consequences of cancer treatment.
