Overview
I am a Statistician (Research Associate) at the Centre for Trials Research (CTR). My background is in both Medical Statistics and Human Genetics.
I completed my PhD in Cardiff University in human genetics. My doctoral research training was on a specific type of genetic variation called copy number variation, investigating if such genetic variants are associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I then joined Cambridge University to work with Professor Lucy Raymond to identify and understand the genetic causes of severe rare Intellectual Disability by analysing next generation sequencing data of a large cohort of patients. Apart from finding cause of disease in previously undiagnosed patients based on known mutations, we also identified novel genes that contribute to Intellectual disability. During my postdoctoral position in Cambridge, I became interested in how scientific discoveries and novel treatments can be implemented in improving health and quality of life for patients, and that is why I started a part-time MSc in Statistics with Medical Applications alongside my full-time postdoctoral research with a view of working in clinical trials. Before joining the CTR in 2020, I completed a second postdoctoral training in Cardiff University. I was involved in the processing, analysis and interpretation of next generation DNA sequencing data (~6,000 participants) in order to dissect molecular mechanisms and genetic causes of Alzheimer’s disease.
Since transitioning to clinical trials research, I have been working on the design, analysis and reporting of studies in a range of clinical areas including infections, population and mental health and COVID-19.
I have published extensively in human genetics, mental health disorders and more recently - results from the studies that I work on at the CTR.
At the CTR, I am part of the Statistics team and currently I am involved in the following studies as the Trial Statistician:
- Preventing Homelessness, improving health for prison leavers: a pilot randomised controlled trial of a Critical Time intervention (PHaCT)
- Procalcitonin: Evaluation of Antibiotic use in COVID-19 Hospitalised patients (PEACH)
- Randomised control trial of a psychological intervention for the prevention of depression in adolescents (WOLFSON)
Completed studies:
- COVID Health and Help-Seeking Behaviour Study (CABS)
- Pregnancy and Neonatal outcomes for women with COVID-19 (PAN-COVID)
