Profile
I am an epidemiologist specializing in the application of precision medicine approaches in globally diverse datasets to address health inequalities, particularly around cardiometabolic disease. I was previously Associate Professor at LSHTM, where I completed a postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Wellcome Trust examining ethnic inequalities in the care and outcomes of type 2 diabetes, and a member of the OpenSAFELY collaborative working on a range of COVID-19 related projects.
At QMUL, I work in the Clinical Effectiveness Group as part of the Precision Medicine Part 2 program funded by Barts Charity. I am a member of the Genes & Health Executive, where I lead a workstream on developing phenotypes in electronic health record datasets linked to the G&H cohort, and work collaboratively across the WIPH centres on a range of projects focussed on health inequalities.
