Biography

Degrees

MB ChB, BSc (Hons), MRCP

Current Position

I am an Honorary Clinical Lecturer and Specialty Registrar in Clinical Pharmacology and Medicine at the University of Glasgow and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. 

Background

I graduated in Medicine from the University of Glasgow in 2010 and achieved an Intercalated BSc in Cardiovascular Medicine with First Class Honours in 2008.  I completed early clinical academic training as part of the Glasgow Academic Training Environment (GATE) from 2010 to 2014, and a Clinical Teaching Fellowship in Medicine with Postgraduate Certificate in Health Professions Education (Merit) at the Western Infirmary Glasgow from 2014-15.  I commenced a BHF Centre of Research Excellence PhD Fellowship at the University of Glasgow Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences in 2015 and I am currently an Honorary Clinical Lecturer and Specialty Registrar in Clinical Pharmacology and Medicine. 

Research interests

Cardiovascular Complications of Chemotherapy

I play a fundamental role in a programme of novel and innovative translational cardio-oncology studies, focussing on the cardiovascular effects of cisplatin and VEGF inhibitor chemotherapy.  Our research aims to successfully unravel the mechanisms whereby chemotherapy drugs cause vascular damage and identify approaches to maintain vascular health and prevent cardiovascular disease in patients treated with chemotherapy drugs that induce cardiovascular toxicity.

Stroke Medicine

I play an active role in research studies that aim to reduce the burden of stroke by improving approaches to primary and secondary prevention, as well as optimising the management of patients with acute stroke, including intravenous thrombolysis.
