In her PhD she used quantitative methods to investigate how household living arrangements impact health and care outcomes and completed a policy internship with the Academy of Medical Sciences, also funded by the MRC.
Her research uses electronic health records to identify families with children in which multiple members have long-term conditions across generations and cohort data to understand early childhood determinants of multimorbidity. She is a an associated researcher with the NIHR Children and Families Policy Research Unit at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, and a member of the Multiple Long-Term Conditions Cross-NIHR Collaboration and NIHR Health Technology Assessment Programme Funding Committee.
