Mark worked as a medicinal chemist for ten years in the pharmaceutical industry prior to completing an MSc in Health Economics at York in 2006. Following a summer placement in Newcastle he joined as research associate and worked on a number of projects spanning evaluation and elicitation of health preferences. The largest of these was 'EuroVaQ', a survey of 40,000 people across ten countries ascertaining willingness to pay for health gains. He joined LSHTM in September 2010.
