QResearch
I am Senior Researcher working as part of the QResearch team as Senior Researcher and Epidemiologist. I am currently leading a study to determine the uptake, safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in people living with blood cancer using the QResearch database.
Prior to this I worked for four years as the research lead on the NewKI study (formerly OxRen) study of chronic kidney disease, and have been involved in a number of diabetes-related projects over the years.
I have expertise in quantitative methods, meta-analysis, managing UK-based and international multicentre clinical studies, clinical epidemiology and qualitative data collection and analysis. I am module coordinator for the Meta-analysis module https://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/meta-analysis, which is part of the University of Oxford's Evidence Based Health Care, Medical Statistics and Systematic Review Masters programmes.
