I graduated from the University of Manchester School of Medicine. And completed specialist anaesthesia training in the Northwest.
As a clinical academic I am interested in what places patients at increased risk of pneumonia, and how we can improve diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for patients with pneumonia, particularly in ration to the peri-operative period and patients on ventilators.
Funded by an MRC Clinical Research Training Fellowship, I completed a PhD at the UoM Centre for Biological Timing, investigating the role of the circadian clock in control of the immune response in pneumonia. The research involved murine models of infection and circadian disruption.
Driven by a translational focus, I embarked on a research project to quantify circadian gene expression in patient blood samples. My goal was to understand the clinical significance of circadian regulation of the immune system. This research led me to explore less invasive methods for monitoring circadian rhythms, particularly wearable technology.
The type of tube that connects patients to a ventilator may impact susceptibility to ventilator associated pneumonia and in turn length of time patients spend on a ventilator. I am the Chief Investigator of Protect Airways, a clinical and cost effectiveness trial of advanced airways protection endotracheal tubes.
