Personal profile
Research Interests
I am a statistician based within the Centre for Public Health. My main research interests are on the impact of medications on cancer risk and survival. Examples of previously completed projects include studies investigating the impact of aspirin on survival from gastroesophageal cancer, investigating proton pump inhibitors and the risk of gastric cancer, and screening prescription medications for cancer risk. Current projects include studies investigating hormone replacement therapy and a range of outcomes in patients with cancer. I have also conducted statistical analysis for a wide range of projects including randomised controlled trials, studies developing prognostic models and systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
