I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology. I work with the BEYOND Cancer group, which is part of the Electronic Health Records group at LSHTM. My research examines the long-term effects of cancers and their treatments on survivors’ health and wellbeing.
I hold an MPH in Population and Reproductive Health from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana, as well as an MSc in Demography and Health and a PhD in Epidemiology and Population Health from LSHTM.
Affiliations
Teaching
I tutor on the Statistics for Epidemiology and Statistical Methods in Epidemiology modules within the MSc in Epidemiology by Distance Learning, contribute to the development and revision of study materials, and support students with R-related queries through the EPM102 R forum. I also serve as a personal tutor for students on the MSc in Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy and Programming online programme, where I supervise and assess their final-year projects.
Research
My current research involves analysing large-scale linked electronic healthcare data routinely collected from primary care practices across the UK, including the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), to examine the impact of androgen deprivation therapy on the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes among prostate cancer survivors. I also collaborate on the African Breast Cancer-Disparities in Outcomes (ABC-DO) study to investigate longitudinal changes in health-related quality of life and symptomatology among women with breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa.
