I am one of the leading health economists in the UK with around 200 publications (h-index 52), and a world-wide reputation for methodological and applied research. My areas of expertise include health technology assessment (HTA), methods for generating Real World Evidence (RWE) to improve health care decision-making, and approaches to personalising interventions.
I lead a research team of health economists and statisticians undertaking health economic research of global interest. Over the last ten years I have generated total research grant income of around £70 million, and have led major studies of international relevance to successful completion and impact on policy. In 2016-7, I took the Ashridge leadership programme for senior leaders. I was the co-director of the LSHTM Centre for Statistical Methodology (CSM) (2017-22). I have held a prestigious NIHR senior research fellowship and was on the NIHR commissioning board for five years. I am an Associate Editor for a major health economics journal, Health Economics. I have delivered keynote (invited) talks to multidisciplinary audiences in the US, Canada, China, Taiwan and in the UK, and written editorials for leading clinical and health economics journals. I provide scientific advice to the UK Department of Health and to NICE. I served on the 2021 REF subpanel 2, Public Health, Health services and primary care.
