Scientific Background

Research Interests

The goal of my research group is to provide guidance in the development, evaluation and implementation of approaches for predicting and improving clinical pharmacokinetics to optimise dosing through medicines optimisation.

Research strands actively pursued within this group are translational and include the techniques of:

Whole Body Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modelling
Population pharmacokinetics

Which are widely applied to a variety of research interests, which include:

Medicines optimisation
Deprescribing
Mental health
Opioid abuse
Tropical disease

Scientific Inspiration

Kalpana Chawla. She was the first astronaut of Indian origin to have travelled into the space. She was an aerospace engineer who gained an MSc and PhD before going on to work at NASA. Chawla was one of the crew members who died in the space shuttle Columbia disaster on February 1, 2003.

Rick Sanchez. A protagonist and the central antagonist character. Someone who is as crazy and wild as they come but will come up with imaginative and often dangerous solutions to the problems of life and the universe.

Research Groups

Pharmaceutical & Clinical Pharmacy Research Group (PCPRG)

Supervision Style

In three words or phrases: Supportive, guiding, inclusive

Provision of Training

I will support you throughout your training, working with you to learn and develop your skills at the start. Later in the project I would hope to learn from you, as you slowly become the expert within your chosen PhD field.

Progression Monitoring and Management

I will work with you to monitor and manage the project. I will start by offering direct guidance to help you gain your footing before we develop a balance of expectations on project progression. We will always work together to manage deadlines.

Communication

I am known to email my team/PhD students at all hours of the day and night, however I will not expect you to do the same. I am happy to discuss any issues that are impacting your ability to fulfil your potential or my/our expectations. We work as a team and not individuals.

PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:

In a group setting

At least once per week

In year 1 of PhD study

At least once per week

In year 2 of PhD study

At least once per week

In year 3 of PhD study

At least once per week

These meetings will be mainly face to face, and I am usually contactable for an instant response every working day.

Working Pattern

The timing of work in my lab is completely flexible, and (other than attending pre-arranged meetings), I expect students to manage their own time.

Notice Period for Feedback

I need at least 1 week’s notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
