Summary
My role is to manage exciting translational research projects at the Marshall Centre. My current focus is the Noisy Guts Project, a project dedicated to the development of a new tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of common gut disorders.
The Noisy Guts team includes experts in medicine, engineering, data science and acoustics. Together we have been able to characterise a common gut disorder, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), through bowel sound features. Our acoustic belt provides an innovative, accurate and safe approach to the diagnosis and management of IBS.
My own background is in the evolution and ecology of insect parasites and pathogens. I completed a Natural Sciences undergraduate degree and then a PhD at the University of Cambridge, followed by five years of post-doctoral research. I have built on my biology and research background with training in project management, good clinical practice and research commercialisation to gain the skillset needed for my current role.
