Research

Research Interests:

My research interests include reproductive endocrinology, PCOS, subfertility and assisted conception.

I am the primary grant holder and chief investigator on the Time-Lapse Imaging Trial (TILT). This is a multi-centre international randomised controlled trial, funded by Bart’s Charity and on the national portfolio. It aims to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of time lapse imaging of embryos for women having IVF treatment. I am also a co-applicant on an NIHR grant for the randomised controlled trial HELP Infertility? (Hysteroscopic Excision of Leiomyoma and Polyp in Infertility).

I have experience as a principal investigator for several multi-centre, national and international RCTs leading to successful high impact publications.
