Research interests
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Community Healthcare MedTech and In vitro Diagnostic Co-operative (MIC), focuses on the robust in-context evaluation and development of diagnostic devices and in vitro diagnostic tests of relevance to community healthcare. I am a diagnostics researcher and Manager of the Community Healthcare MIC. My role incorporates responsibility for liaising with members of the in vitro diagnostics industry and facilitating interactions with the MIC research team. My research has focussed on the diagnostic needs of clinicians, barriers to implementation, and the identification of evidence gaps which commonly exist in the evidence base for point-of-care diagnostic tests. I have a personal interest in IVDs which could be deployed in resource-limited settings.
My background is in cell physiology, membrane transport processes and signaling. I have a particular interest in the control of ventilation and in particular how humans respond to changes in the partial pressure of inspired oxygen. I have an associated interest in the physiology and medicine of life in remote regions and at high altitude.
