Research

My research is focused on using cutting edge computational and mathematical tools to understand the pathogenesis and aetiology of cancer, in particular squamous cell carcinoma. As a dermatologist and clinical pharmacologist I am ultimately driven by the need to translate the findings of fundamental scientific research into clinically relevant outcomes.
