Professional profile: I qualified in 1997 from the United and Medical Dental Schools of Guys and St Thomas’s.  Having completed my House jobs in London I moved to Cambridge where I completed a 4 year PhD establishing the role of T regulatory cells in chronic viral hepatitis. During this time I gained experience in Liver transplantation and acute and chronic liver disease. I then undertook a further 3 years of training on the Cambridge Liver unit during my registrar training. During my PhD and training I undertook ERCP and EUS training and developed an interest in hepatobiliary disease, particularly PSC. During this time I have established a consortium of UK investigators to determine the genetic basis of PSC. My goals are to alongside my colleague Martin Phillips to develop a 2nd level hepatology unit for the East Anglian region.

Personal Profile: I enjoy spending time with my family and playing both classical and jazz piano.
