I am a consultant nephrologist at 缅北禁地 upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and associate clinical lecturer at the Institute of Cellular Medicine. My clinical time is divided between the and .
My main clinical role is providing expert advice for the diagnosis and management of atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) and C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) nationally. This includes implementing the NHS England Highly Specialised Services policies on the use of eculizumab in the treatment of these conditions. (/ )
Leadership Roles: Clinical lead for C3G within the National Renal Complement Therapeutic Centre / Member of the MPGN/C3G Rare Disease Group
I undertook my speciality training in renal medicine in the North East (2008-2017), during which I completed an extensive period of research in complement-mediated renal diseases as a MRC Clinical Research Training Fellow (2013-2016) and NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer (2016-2017).
In my research period, I studied complement abnormalities in aHUS, C3G and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), through laboratory and clinical research methods.
I have published my work in top-ranking nephrology journals (J Am Soc Nephol / Kidney Int) and presented my work in national and international meetings.
I was awarded a for my PhD in 2016 and the prestigious Renal Association (Young Investigator) in 2017.
