I am a dedicated clinician with 15 years experience in clinical medicine including specialist training in Anaesthesia, Intensive care and Neurology. Passionate about advancing clinical research and advocating for clinician-researchers, I balance research leadership, teaching and mentoring alongside my own research and active medical practice.
My research portfolio is diverse. I am most passionate about harm minimisation (especially neurological injury) in operative and critical care settings.
To achieve this, bringing together expertise from different disciplines is key to innovativce discovery and advancing perioperative medicine and research. To this end, I invest considerable effort in building research capacity through collaboration with national and international research institutions, recruit and supervise senior scientisists, clinician-researchers and top PhD and MPhil students.
