Andronis, Lazaros	Warwick Clinical Trials Unit	Senior Research Fellow in Health Economics. Much of the research I’m involved in makes use of economic tools to assess the costs and benefits of health care interventions. Such interventions include surgical techniques (e.g. skin preparation, wound dressings, revascularisation techniques), public health campaigns (e.g. prevention of cardiovascular disease, prevention of vitamin D deficiency), cancer treatments (e.g. zoledronic acid and strontium-89 for bone metastases) and various technologies (MRI, bioimpedance-guided fluid management, complex post-surgical support technologies etc). I can assist in planning an economic evaluation of a health care technology. My wider methodological interests include: i) development of statistical and decision analytic methods for economic evaluation, ii) role of analytic methods in research prioritisation (particularly, use of ‘value of information’ analysis), iii) use of preference elicitation techniques for outcome valuation, iv) application of statistical and econometric tools for the purpose of policy impact evaluation and v) determinants of the demand for, and uptake of, preventive health care treatments. Please contact me if you are interested in discussing your plans or you would like to hear about topics I have developed in the areas above.

Anyanwu, Philip	Applied Health	I am an Epidemiologist with research interests in: Infectious disease epidemiology - antibiotic prescribing, antimicrobial resistance and stewardship. Social epidemiology and health inequalities. Digital health - developing and evaluating digital technologies in health, especially in low and middle-income countries. Social and public health intervention and policy evaluation – adopting a natural experiment approach in understanding the mechanism of impact and any differential effects of interventions and policies on subgroups of a population.

Ayorinde, Abimbola	Applied Health	I am interested in health services and public health research relating to women’s health as well as maternal and child’s health.	Health Sciences PhD (RMDA-B91P); Health Sciences MSc (RMDA-B92P);
Balasubramanian, Mohan	Biomedical Sciences	Synthetic Biology of Cell Division: Key Words: Cytokinesis, Actomyosin Ring, Fission Yeast, Synthetic Biology. The Balasubramanian Laboratory is interested in understanding the mechanisms regulating eukaryotic cell division. While proper cell division is crucial for normal growth and differentiation of all organisms, its malfunctioning can result in diseases, including cancer. In many eukaryotes, cell division requires the function of an actomyosin based contractile ring. Filamentous actin, the motor protein myosin II and many other proteins make up this machine, which generates the forces required for cell division. Members of the laboratory use the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model for the work. The research work exploits the methods of genetics, high-resolution imaging, in vitro reconstitution, building of synthetic networks, physics and chemistry. Since an actomyosin ring participates in cytokinesis, in organisms ranging from yeast to humans, the findings may be relevant to understanding cell division in other organisms as well.

Bastie, Claire	Translational Experimental Medicine, Biomedical Sciences	Dissecting the molecular basis of obesity and diabetes utilizing both whole animal physiology with genetically modified animal models (conventional knockouts, tissue-specific knockouts and over-expressing models) and explant cultures coupled with advanced molecular and cellular biology tools. The main interests of our laboratory are concentrated on: 1) characterizing Fyn kinase, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, as a novel element of the nutrient-sensor system that regulates whole body energy homeostasis in conditions of either excess (obesity) or deprivation (caloric restriction) of nutrient availability and 2) characterizing Fyn kinase as a core enzyme co-ordinating a number of key processes associated with aging.

Clinical Education PhD (RMDA-B91F); PhD by Published Work
Biggerstaff, Deborah	Mental Health and Wellbeing, Applied Health	I am a Chartered Psychologist and experienced health services researcher and specialise in using research methodology to explore key issues facing today’s health services delivery of care. I have particular expertise in qualitative methodologies, especially phenomenological approaches and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), also narrative methods and approaches for combining qualitative methods. I am experienced in psychological aspects of women’s health and child development, especially mothers’ experiences following childbirth. I am also interested in how women experience and cope with depression and anxiety and the potential impact this may have on child development. Also keen to supervise in the area of post-traumatic stress experiences following birth. I am interested in supervising students in all aspects of psychological and behavioural care. Other interests include clinical education especially exploring how students acquire knowledge and experience, and in learning more about how trainee clinicians develop the concept of phronesis or ‘practical wisdom’.
