I am an SpR in General Surgery and an ICAT fellow. I will be commencing my PhD in July 2024 focusing on the use of liquid biopsy in oesophagogastric cancers. I am the current National Research Collaborative (NRC) rep for the ISRC. My role is to maintain a line of communication between the ISRC and trainee collaboratives in the UK with a view to enhance dissemination of collaborative projects between the UK and Ireland.
