I joined the СŷÊÓƵ of Sheffield in 2018 when I started a four-year post as Clinical Research Fellow in Paediatrics. This marked the beginning of my research activity within the Department of Oncology and Metabolism at СŷÊÓƵ and the Endocrine Team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. During this time, I also completed a PhD in Endocrinology studying metabolic complications in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). I am dedicated to developing a career as a Clinical Academic, and I am currently working as a Clinical Lecturer in Paediatrics, dividing my time between academic work in the School of Medicine and Population Health, and clinical training in Paediatric Endocrinology at The Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

- Research interests
-
My research interests are adrenal disease, disorders of steroid synthesis and disorders of sexual development. I have explored these areas in clinical research involving patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and also in Basic Science research, using zebrafish models of abnormal steroid synthesis. I am also interested in using bioinformatics in combination with metabolomics and transcriptomics to explore molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of endocrine and metabolic disease.
