One of the main areas of my clinical research has been in evidence-based randomised peer-reviewed paediatric haemato-oncology clinical trials, focusing on clinical questions within all domains of child and adolescent blood and cancer. I am an active member / principal investigator (UK and European Study Groups) involved in international peer-review trial design.
One of my main areas of translational research for the past two decades has been elucidating the relationship between the protein C (PC) activation pathway and the systemic inflammatory response sepsis syndromes. To date, this research has made significant clinical and basic scientific contributions to the emergence of a new paradigm regarding the patho-biology of severe sepsis / septic shock.
