I am Senior Researcher in Health Economics in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, and a member of the Ethics and Values research theme at Reuben College.
My research interests relate to economic and wider social issues associated with the increasing availability of genetic data, particularly in relation to how these data might be used to support causal inference, screening, prognostic modelling, and in the evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of stratified therapies. This work has encompassed a number of different diseases areas (such as cancer and cardiovascular disease), traits (such as adiposity), and behaviours (such as smoking). A current area of focus is Alzheimer's disease and related phenotypes in my capacity as an NIHR Fellow in Dementia Research.
I am also Associate Director in Health Economics for the Central and South Genomic Medicine Service Alliance.
I hold degrees in Economics from Trinity College Dublin (BA) and Nuffield College, Oxford (MPhil and DPhil), and in Health Economics from the University of York (MSc). I also hold a diploma in Financial Management awarded by the ACCA.
