I am a biostatistician in the Medical Statistics department at LSHTM with an interest in non-communicable disease including asthma, eczema and chronic kidney disease.
Following a career-change from financial services, I completed an MSc in Medical Statistics at LSHTM in 2016 followed by a PhD in 2022 also at LSHTM, on multi-level modelling of global time trends in asthma.
Affiliations
Teaching
I am a practical assistant and tutor on the MSc Medical Statistics, working on two modules: Foundations of Medical Statistics (Analytical Techniques) in term 1 and the Analysis of Hierarchical and Other Dependant Data in term 2.
I also tutor on the DL Epidemiology programme for modules EPM105 (Writing and Reviewing Epidemiological Papers) and EPM202 (Statistical Methods in Epidemiology).
Research
I work on the CAMERA study investigating causes of non-allergic asthma in children. This analysis also brings in data from ISAAC and ALSPAC.
I also work on the DEGREE study investigating epidemics of chronic kidney disease of unknown cause (CKDu) affecting young adults in LMICs.
My PhD was on multi-level modelling of international variations and time trends in asthma and allergic diseases in children. I used data from the Global Asthma Network (GAN) and the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC).
