I am a statistical epidemiologist who graduated from the University of Reading in 1996 with a BSc in Applied Statistics and then in 1997 from the University of Leicester with an MSc in Medical Statistics. I have been in my current role since 1999 (Institute of Cancer Research 1999-2004 and LSHTM 2004-date).

Teaching
I am one of the co-organisers of the Advanced Course in Epidemiological Analysis short course. I also teach sessions for STEPH, SME and ASME and supervise distance learning summer projects.
Research
I am primarily involved in research concerning human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer screening. I am the PI of the Catch-up Screen Project, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, which will evaluate the impact of offering an at-home urine HPV test to women now aged 65-79 who left the cervical screening programme before the introduction of primary HPV testing. I am also the PI for the long-term follow-up of the ARTISTIC trial cohort which recruited around 25,000 women in 2002, collecting further samples for HPV testing from 10,000 women in 2018-22.
