Affiliation

Teaching

I teach statistics courses for epidemiologists (STEPH and SME) and help organise the ACEA - Advanced Course in Epidemiology Analysis. I also supervise a Distance Learning summer project.

Research

I am involved in several research projects concerning cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV), in particular the ARTISTIC trial (a randomised trial of HPV testing in primary cervical screening) and a cohort study established in Manchester between 1988 & 1993. With collegues in ITD, I am involved in a cervical screening study in HIV+ women in South Africa and Burkina Faso. My other reasearch area involves mesothelioma and lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure. I am responsible for the analysis of a large case-control study in relation to occupational and other asbestos exposures (MALCS) as well as a new study looking at asbestos lung fibre burden in the young general population (TIPS).
