Biography
I am a PhD student in the Division of Psychiatry at UCL. Prior to joining UCL, I completed an Integrated Master’s degree in Biochemistry at the University of Surrey, where I developed an interest in genetics. My Master’s research project involved using large genetic datasets (“Big Data”) from the UK Biobank to investigate the causal relationship between adiponectin and type II diabetes melltitus in a Mendelian randomisation analysis.
Research Themes


Research Summary
My PhD research involves coordinating the first UK clinical trial offering a pharmacogenomic personalised intervention for psychosis and an investigation of the cost-effectiveness of pharmacogenomics in mental health. This study will will contribute to the understanding of the benefits/costs of genomics to guide treatment in psychosis and provide much needed evidence for a new NHS pharmacogenomics service currently under development by Genomics England.
