I am a Clinical Research Training Fellow completing a PhD funded by the CRUK Clinical Academic Training Award supervised by David Wedge and Colin Lindsay. Prior to joining Wedge lab, I worked as a specialist registrar in Medical Oncology at the Christie Hospital. I completed postgraduate degrees at Newcastle University; intercalated MRes in Cancer Sciences in 2012 and MBBS in 2013. I became a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 2018.

My main research interest is in personalised medicine and biomarker identification, so to identify which treatments are most appropriate for an individual patient in the clinic. I have previously developed preclinical assays for DNA repair pathways in ovarian cancer. My PhD project will focus on using applied human genomics to identify predictive biomarkers in lung cancer patients with KRAS mutations.
