Professional Profile: My undergraduate medical training was at the University of Cambridge where I also completed my PhD on immune responses to the enteric pathogen Salmonella. I was subsequently appointed as speciality registrar in gastroenterology and general medicine in the East of England Deanery where I developed my clinical interests in inflammatory bowel disease. During this time I held a 4 year National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) clinical lectureship investigating the role of environmental factors in the aetiology of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. I have also been an investigator for other observational studies and clinical trials in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
