Profile

I am an Out of Hours GP in Hackney and a Clinical Research fellow in the Centre for Primary Care’s Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) with a special interest in the use of medical data in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

Following a BSc. in Microbiology at Imperial College and an MSc. in Computational Biology at the University of Manchester, I completed a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at UCL and, afterwards, a post-doctoral research post at the Royal Veterinary College investigating the genomes of mycobacteria (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and various associated organisms.

After a brief segue in scientific research programme management (at Microsoft Research (Cambridge) and then with the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity), I retrained as a doctor and obtained my MBBS. from Kings College London in 2011 qualifying as a GP in 2018 via a Clinical Research Fellow post at Hammersmith Hospital. My work focuses on health inequities in the detection, monitoring and effective treatment as well of hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. I am also a member of the PRELUDE-1 study, a pilot project investigating the inclusion of Fib-4 scores in type 2 diabetes annual reviews for early identification of fatty liver disease. In addition, I am a module lead for the Wellcome Trust funded Health Data in practice MRes/PhD programme and I teach the first semester “Health Data in Practice” module. In my spare time, I like to throw pots (from clay, not on the floor), grown dahlias and I’m thinking about joining an ice-hockey team.
