I have a longstanding interest in understanding the developmentally-regulated, molecular and biological properties of fetal haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) that underlie the development of blood problems that affect babies and young children.

I am an Associate Editor of Blood and Vice-chair of the Scientific Committee on Blood Disorders in Childhood of the American Society for Hematology. I am also a member of the European Hematology Association Global Outreach Committee and formerly held senior positions in the Executive Board and a number of other constituted and ad hoc committees. I was previously an Honorary Consultant Paediatric Haematologist at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Theme Lead for the Non-Malignant Haematological Disorders for the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Translational Research Collaboration Rare Diseases Collaboration.
