Personal profile
Research Interests
My research theme is novel infection diagnostics, predominantly in the intensive care unit setting, to improve outcomes for critically-ill patients and lead strategies to address antibiotic resistance. In support of this aim, I have a leadership role in several large national multicentre clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of new diagnostic and treatment strategies in the NHS.
