My clinical interests and expertise are facilitated and supported by an active laboratory research programme.

Personal profile
My busy professional life is accompanied by an equally busy personal life. Much time is spent with my two children, but otherwise my major interests outside work are sporting.I have always been a football player and I continue to play regularly, whilst maintaining my general fitness by running. When not playing football, I can often be found spectating. As a Lancastrian I have been a lifelong supporter of Blackburn Rovers.
