Overview
I am a Research Fellow in the Division of Infections, Inflammation and Immunity at the Centre for Trials Research (CTR) and am the theme lead for Infectious Diseases within the division. Prior to transitioning into clincial research, I was a post-doc at the Wales Heart Reseach Institute at Cardiff University.
My interests are in Point of Care Testing (POCT) and infectious disease diagnostics with a particularly interest in secondary care (Emergency Medicine). However, any trial/study that works towards improving patient care by implementing new and improved interventions to the NHS will gain my interest!
Current trials I am working on include:
PRONTO (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/pronto)
PROTECT (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/protect)
PEACH (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/peach)
RAPID-PROTECTION (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/rapid-protection)
ENCEPH-IG (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/centre-for-trials-research/research/studies-and-trials/view/enceph-ig)
I am open to collaborative approaches within the fields of infections and immunity.
