I am a medical scientist and research manager of the Hand and Upper Limb Unit in the Department of Orthopaedics & Trauma Surgery.

In my current role, I am involved in managing clinical studies to improve patient reported outcomes, anatomical studies to understand more about the structures of bone and soft tissues, and biomechanical studies for joint movement and prosthesis designs.
