Biography

Following graduation with an MSc Medical Statistics from Newcastle University in 1987, I worked as a research statistician in the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit, University of Dundee between 1987-1993.  After successful award of my PhD, I moved to the Wolfson Unit for Peripheral Vascular Diseases, University of Edinburgh and worked as a senior research fellow for 9 years. 

In 2003, I joined the Univeristy of Aberdeen as medical statistician for the Department of Primary Care.  I was made Reader in 2004 and attained Professor in 2006. I held the post of Deputy Director of the Institute of Applied Health Sciences (IAHS) between 2011-2018 and was then appointed Director of the IAHS between 2018-2023.  In 2024, I took on role as IAHS EDI Lead.
