Research Interests
I am currently involved in biomedical research looking for links between genetics and post-surgical pain. Our data will be used to define a genetic signature of pain that can direct doctors to give suitable and sufficient pain relief to patients whilst they are still asleep under anaesthesia during surgery. In addition to this work I have a strong general interest in human disease, particularly in explaining predisposition to cancer and forecasting the onset of systemic bacterial infection (sepsis).
