I am an ethnographer and sociologist of science with an interest in biomedical science (especially genetics) and its regulation. I have published widely on the impact on professional practice of genetic tests and decision making in research ethics committees.

My current work focuses on decision making around ambiguous results of genomic tests, and how groups of professionals decide whether these results are pathogenic and disease causing or simply benign.

I am currently run the Cardiff MSc in Social Science Research Methods (SSRM) and am Director of WISERD - the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research and Data.
