Profile
I am a statistician with a particular interest in cancer screening.
I completed a BSc in Mathematics and Statistics at Queen Mary University (2005-2008) followed by an MSc in Medical Statistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (2009-2010).
I am currently undertaking a PhD assessing the long-term impact of breast cancer screening on risk of breast cancer mortality and the extent of overdiagnosis associated with screening, supervised by Professors Stephen Duffy and Rhian Gabe.
