My Work

I am director of TRAMS (Trials Research and Methodologies) Group in the HRB CRF-C (Clinical Research Facility). Our interests are in patient focused research, both observational and interventional. We are interested in the conduct of clinical trials to answer relevant health research questions. We also promote embedding methodological research in clinical trials.
