Research interests
My research interests are in liver disease epidemiology and public health. I am exploring who is developing liver disease early and strategies to best detect clinically relevant liver disease in the community. I am interested in what is economically viable for the NHS. Once we have identified liver disease - how do we best keep patients engaged with services? Ultimately my goal is for this research to translate to reductions in morbidity and health inequality related to liver disease.
