Medicine & Health

School of Biomedical Sciences

I am an Education Focussed academic in the School of Biomedical Sciences (SBMS), within the Faculty of Medicine & Health at UNSW Sydney (Australia). I teach Pathology in courses offered to undergraduates in the Science, Medical Science, Exercise Physiology and Medicine degree programs. I am also the convenor of courses including the introductory Pathology course Processes in Disease (PATH2201), and Cancer Pathology (PATH3206). I am also the Head of Teaching in the Department of Pathology (Medical Science) teach Pathology.

My current research focusses on the use of novel digital technologies to enhance student engagement, motivation and success. I am also involved in ongoing research to identify mechanisms that promote inflammation in lung disease including COPD and sarcoidosis. Additionally, I am interested in the identification of biomarkers which may have potential for diagnosis and/or monitoring the progression of chronic inflammatory diseases.
