Background

I joined the FMS Research Project Management team as a Research Project Manager in December 2022.

I have worked in research at the university for over eight years, initially on the MRC-funded BLISS study and more recently on the EU H2020 R-LiNK study, both investigating personalised treatment response to lithium in bipolar disorder. Dr David Cousins leads on the lithium MR brain imaging aspect of the project, a technique which was developed here at Â鶹´«Ã½.

I currently support the  study, which is led by  and  alongside a consortium of autistic people, health professionals and researchers. The study is now at stage 3 (RCT) and aims to evaluate a biopsychosocial health check for autistic adults for use by NHS Primary Care professionals.
