Research areas
I am a Clinical Research Fellow here at the University of St Andrews, and an infectious diseases and microbiology doctor (ST6). I am undertaking a Wellcome funded PhD, where I am investigating infection and antimicrobial resistance in individuals living with multimorbidity.
I also hold strong interests in global health, public health, and medical education. I previously set-up and co-directed the Global Health Primer for Doctors at LSHTM for 4 years, and spent time in Malawi working on cholera.
