I have been a Consultant Paediatric Haematologist since 2007. I
specialise in malignant disease (Leukaemias), especially Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. I am involved in running several early and
late phase clinical trials locally, nationally and
internationally.
I studied Measurable Residual Disease (a method for accurately
measuring amounts of Leukaemia present in on treatment samples) for
my PhD at the University of Bristol and have had subsequent grant
funding to develop this technique further. Additionally I am the
Clinical Lead for the UK Childhood ALL Molecular and Flow MRD
laboratory networks.
I have several national responsibilities including Chief
Investigator of the Bloodwise Childhood Leukaemia Cellbank,
membership of the NCRI Children's Clinical Studies Group and am UK
lead investigator for the ALLTogether trial in de novo Childhood
ALL.
Additionally I am the Clinical Lead for Haematological and
paediatric Malignancies for the South-West Genomic Laboratory
Hub.
