Biography

I am Research Scientist, with expertise in biomarker-based methods for diagnosis. The single, unifying goal of my work is to improve the lives of patients living with chronic conditions, and, by extension, the lives of their carers, and to reduce the demand on overstretched healthcare providers. The projects that I lead, or in which I am involved, span discovery, development, evaluation and implementation, and fall into three broad categories:

  • Diagnosis. Early detection of acute and chronic pathologies, and acute adverse events - which is accurate, inexpensive and accessible - to be used by healthcare providers, patients and carers, regardless of setting.
  • Therapeutics. Elucidate targets for effective treatment, very early in disease development. Informed by biomarker-based diagnosis of early disease.
  • Education. Change behaviours, remove barriers to patients seeking help and achieve patient-centred care.
