Biography

I studied BSc Natural Sciences in Anthropology and Computer Science at Durham University and then MSc Bioinformatics at the University of Glasgow. I completed my PhD in Biostatistics at the University of Leicester, comparing statistical and machine learning methods for risk prediction in healthcare. In October 2022 I began working with Prof. Nora Pashayan as a postdoctoral researcher, modelling tumour growth kinetics in prostate and renal cancers with mixed-effects models.
