Personal profile
Research Focus
I am a Queen's Vice Chancellor's Fellow and a Cancer Research UK Fellow working within the Cancer Epidemiology Research Group at the Centre for Public Health. My research interests are in the field of pharmacoepidemiology and cancer epidemiology.
As a pharmacoepidemiologist I am interested in using real world data to investigate the use, effectiveness and safety of medications. My main research area is in cancer and draws upon large electronic healthcare databases and statistical methods to (1) identify commonly used medications that influence the risk of cancer and cancer outcomes and (2) evaluate the safety of cancer treatments.
