Prior to joining QMUL in April 2024, Robin was an NIHR-funded Academic Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine from 2019 and Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Infectious Diseases at Great Ormond Street Hospital from 2022. He was a Clinical Lecturer in Paediatrics at the University of Oxford from 2017-2019.

Robin received a Clinical Training Research Fellowship from the Medical Research Council and Department for International Development to conduct his Imperial College PhD research at the MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM: “Protection from M tuberculosis infection - Learning from exposed but uninfected children in The Gambia."

Robin was awarded a Master of Education from Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2008 and spent six months in Eric Rubin’s Tuberculosis research lab at Harvard School of Public Health in 2010-11.

He has a long-standing interest in medical humanities, particularly film.  He organises public screenings of great films to catalyse interdisciplinary discussions about child wellbeing. These panel discussions integrate child mental health, film academics, the charitable sector and museums (www.watchtalkthink.com). He sits on the Steering Committee of the QMUL Centre for Childhood Cultures.
