About me

  • I am an epidemiologist, with research interests within the field of cancer
    and diabetes. In MEB, I work as a post-doc researcher with Prof Kamila Czene,
    with my research focused on understanding the risk and prognosis of breast
    cancer with different molecular subtypes and modes of detection.

Research

  • Before moving to the field of cancer, my PhD research focused on disease
    burden, outcome predictors of diabetes-related complications, and the
    assessment of the cost-effectiveness of guideline-based care for patients to
    reduce the future burden. This project encompassed clinical science,
    epidemiology, statistics, and health economics. I like working with data,
    and am skilled in data linkage, cleaning, manipulation, analysis and
    visualisation. I had experience in building multiple model types, including
    survival models (semi-parametric, standard, flexible parametric survival
    models and post estimation predictions), Markov model and Discrete Event
    Simulation to answer cost-effectiveness questions, using statistical software
    including Stata, R, and TreeAge Pro.
