Chloe Phillips
MA, BSc (Hons)
DPhil Candidate
I am a full-time DPhil Probationer Research Student, exploring the implementation of AI and Genomics into Sarcoma care using qualitative social science methods and medical sociology theory. I belong to the Medical Sociology & Health Experiences group and the Cancer group. My supervisors are: Lisa Hinton, Kate Lyle, Apostolos Tsiachristas, and Bass Hassan.
In the academic year 23/24 I was one of the Ann McPherson Predoctoral Research Fellows in the Medical Sociology & Health Experiences Research Group. I worked on a range of projects in the areas of: appointment access in primary care, all-clear cancer diagnosis, and polygenic risk scores. I am a qualitative researcher, and primarily conduct qualitative interviews for my projects, alongside completing qualitative data analysis, transcript checking and participant recruitment.
I hold an MA in Sociology from the University of Warwick and completed my BSc (Hons) in Sociology at the University of Plymouth. In the year between my BSc and MA, I worked in Primary Care as an administrator for a GP surgery, my role focused on the COVID-19 vaccination clinics.
