Research interests
I am a Research Fellow working on a World Cancer Research Fund INSPIRE Research Challenge grant, investigating the links between body composition, inflammation, and the risk of monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) and myeloma. From August 2026, I will begin a three-year Blood Cancer UK Early Career Fellowship, funded by the Langmuir Family Foundation. This work will extend my research to examine how additional lifestyle factors, including obesity, sleep quality, and physical activity, as well as circulating proteins, may contribute to the progression from MGUS to myeloma.
