I am a non-clinical lecturer in Physiology within the Section of Anaesthetics, Pain Medicine and Intensive Care. I received my PhD from Imperial College (St. Mary''s Hospital) in 1998 and following postdoctoral stints at King's College London and Queen Mary University of London, rejoined Imperial in 2001.

Research Interests

I am a member of the Critical Care Research group headed by Prof Masao Takata, and have a major interest in understanding the science behind pulmonary aspects of critical care. In particular my main focus is the process by which the inflammatory response influences the development of acute lung injury within the Intensive Care unit. Areas of specific interest include -

improved modelling

mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI)

TNF signaling during acute lung injury

monocyte/macrophage involvement during VILI

Teaching Activities

I am Course Director for the BSc in Anaesthesia & Critical Care, and joint lead for the Anaesthetics, Pain Medicine and Intensive Care (APMIC) stream of the MRes in Biomedical Research.
