My research interests centre on the use of innovative and cost-effective methodologies to investigate the impact of pharmaceutical, device and health service interventions on outcomes for people with chronic disease. My research has focussed on investigating the progression and complications of kidney disease and diabetes through epidemiological analyses of large scale datasets and the development and implementation of randomised clinical trials.
