I am a Research Fellow at the Bristol Medical School, specialising in non-communicable disease epidemiology and global public health.

My research interests include the epidemiology of and health care provision for cancer and musculoskeletal health, and the effects of climate change on health.

I am part of the NIHR Global Health and Ageing Research Unit. I am study manager and epidemiologist for the Wellcome-funded Fractures-E3 study, a multidisciplinary programme of research exploring the epidemiology, ethnography and health economics of fracture care in the Gambia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. I’m involved in the associated MUFASSA (Musculoskeletal Functional Ability in three diverse Sub-Saharan Africa populations) study. I co-Lead CliMMetA (Climate, Muscle function, and Metabolomics in Africa), an Medical Research Foundation-funded study examining how climate variables like temperature impact muscle function and physical performance in older adults and assess whether metabolites play a role in these relationships.

I have a background in biomedical science. I led the HCC-UK/Public Health England partnership, exploring the epidemiology of, and inequalities in hepatocellular carcinoma care using linked electronic health records. I also coordinated the International Consortium on Mammographic Density at the Internal Agency for Research on Cancer, in Lyon, France
