I am a clinician researcher who works in health emergencies, and in particular, outbreaks of emerging and high-consequences pathogens. My aim is to produce robust and agile clinical research when an outbreak occurs - research that improves survival for patients, supports healthcare workers, and informs policy makers and governments. 
I undertook my medical degree and my post-graduate medical training in Australia. I was then awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to the ÓñÃÀÈË´«Ã½ of Oxford. My PhD coincided with the west Africa Ebola epidemic, where I project managed a phase II clinical trial of a ¾±²Ô  alongside a broader portfolio of work to  for other outbreaks, and high-risk settings (such as ). During the pandemic I continued to treat patients, and contributed to the scientific leadership for the- the largest cohort of hospitalised COVID patients worldwide representing almost a million patients from 76 countries. At present, my work is focused on a (such as Ebola and Marburg disease), a , and supporting an observational study for Nipah Virus Disease.  Alongside this I undertake strategic work to improve outbreak preparedness, response, and recovery and provide technical advice to the World Health Organization (WHO) and advice to governments on pandemic preparedness and response. We welcome invitations for collaboration from potential partners and requests for technical assistance.
