Research Background


I began my research career at Newcastle University’s Institute of Health & Society, contributing to studies including the CAFS Study (validating a food portion tool for children) and the SIPs Study (a large trial comparing alcohol misuse interventions across healthcare and justice settings).


My PhD in the Centre for Behaviour and Evolution part of the Institute of Neuroscience explored how childhood adversity influences reproductive timing via the mechanism of interest in infants.


I moved into clinical trials at Newcastle Clinical Trials Unit, supporting the SPIRIT Trials for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, and later coordinated heart, lung and sleep trials at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Cambridge. I gained regulatory experience while at the Health Research Authority, managing ethics applications and supporting review processes.


At Newcastle University, I’ve managed clinical research projects involving MRI and AI at the John Walton Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre. Later I moved to the Newcastle Clinical Trials Unit, overseeing clinical trials, including set up and management, in collaboration with clinical investigators and NHS hospitals.
