Profile

I joined Sheffield Clinical Trials Research Unit in 2007, having previously worked as a statistician at Cancer Research UK and PAREXEL International. In my current role I oversee the statistical input and conduct of the CTRU's portfolio of clinical studies, advise researchers via the NIHR's Research Support Service, and supervising University postgraduate students.

Research interests

My role primarily involves me working with researchers to design and conduct clinical studies. My methodological interests are survival analysis, meta-analysis and the generalisability of clinical trials to wider populations.
