Welcome to my home page. I am a registered pharmacist and worked in practice for 10 years prior to joining the staff at the University in 2008. I am interested in the clinical use of medicines, and my predominant teaching role is in the pharmacotherapeutics subjects of the 3rd year of the Undergraduate Pharmacy Program.
My primary research interests are personalised medicine (including pharmacogenomics and drug concentration effect relationships, particularly in patients with rheumatoid arthritis), drug allergy and deprescribing (the process of ceasing redundant medications).
