Research
My basic scientific training and research training was during a DPhil undertaken at the WIMM and Jesus College, Oxford. I am Chief Investigator (CI) for the PRISE study (Prediction of Immunotherapy Side-Effects). This study, which involves novel collaborations with the Oncology Dept and with Kennedy Institute, and prospectively investigates the side effects of cancer immunotherapy (immune-related adverse events or irAEs) with a particular focus on colitis. This project has resulted in a number of publications, including the major study findings in Gastroenterology and Cancer Cell.
I am local PI for 8 active multicentre interventional studies trialing novel agents for IBD.
