I am involved with the Leicester Ophthalmology group and my main areas of research are the regulation of eye movements and their disorders, in particular nystagmus. Current areas of active research include understanding the genetics of neuro-ophthalmic diseases, improving diagnosis and treatment of nystagmus, amblyopia and other neuro-ophthalmic diseases. I am the author of more than 150 peer reviewed research papers and book chapters. I am section editor of the British Journal of Ophthalmology and on the editorial board of other scientific journals. I'm an enthusiastic teacher of clinical and research students and trainees. I greatly enjoy teaching and have been named academic role model for students and trainees by the BMA.
