Qualifications
  • MRCOG Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
  • PhD in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Sheffield
  • MSc in Clinical Research at the University of Sheffield
  • Postgraduate certificate in Reproductive Health at Geneva Foundation for Medical Education and Research

Research interests

My research is centred on the development of point-of-care testing for early detection of pregnancy-related complications, with a particular interest in preterm birth and placental dysfunction.

In addition to my research, I am actively involved in medical education, where I mentor students and early-career researchers.

I am also dedicated to promoting inclusive research participation and fostering patient and public involvement.
