I am currently a Clinical Senior Lecturer and an Honorary Consultant Neurologist. Following my ABN fellowship I completed my clinical training in Sussex and St Georges, and worked as a Consultant Neurologist at St Georges before obtaining a clinical-academic post in 2018. I was awarded an AAN International Scholarship Award during my PhD, and was identified by the Royal College of Physicians as an Emerging Women Leader in 2019. My current research projects are supported by the MS Society, Horne Family Foundation, Barts Charity, BMA Foundation, MRC and NIHR. I have over 70 peer reviewed publications. I am currently Strategic Lead for Dementia at UCL Partners, Clinical Lead for neurology at the Royal London Hospital, and a member of the ABN MS Advisory group.
My main current research interests are around the early identification and epidemiology of multiple sclerosis, with a particular focus on genetic and environmental risk factors. I am also particularly interested in ensuring that all people with MS are represented in research; as such my research has a focus on the roles of ethnicity, deprivation and gender in MS. I led the publication of UK guidelines on pregnancy in MS, and have recently launched a UK MS pregnancy register. I am principal investigator on a large UK-wide MS pharmacovigilance study, OPTIMISE:MS, and am examining serological response to COVID vaccination.
I also have a keen interest in equity in science, and sit on the QMUL Athena Swan committee. I have published on the representation of women in scientific publishing, and am part of a team who recently developed and set up an international mentorship scheme for women working in the field of MS. I am a non-executive committee member of international women in MS (iWiMS).
