Teaching
I am one of the co-organisers of the Advanced Course in Epidemiological Analysis short course. I also teach sessions for STEPH, SME and ASME and supervise distance learning summer projects.
Research
I am primarily involved in research concerning human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer screening. I am the PI of the Catch-up Screen Project, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, which will evaluate the impact of offering an at-home urine HPV test to women now aged 65-79 who left the cervical screening programme before the introduction of primary HPV testing. I am also updating two cohort studies investigating the long term risk of cervical cancer following HPV infection which recruited in Manchester: the ARTISTIC trial (a randomised trial of HPV testing in primary cervical screening) and the Manchester Cohort Study.
