I am a practicing clinician in HIV and Sexual Health at University Hospital Sussex and an active clinical academic working on improving the treatment of HIV and opportunistic infections in sub-Saharan Africa.

I hope to support the effective and equitable implementation of long-acting HIV treatments in programmatic care settings in Africa through clinical trials, clinical pharmacology, translational and implementation research. I am Lead Investigator of a phase III randomised clinical trial called IMPALA 'Improving HIV outcomes in Africa with Long-acting Antiretroviral therapy' so I work closely with colleagues at the trial coordinating centre at MRC/UVRI-LSHTM Uganda Research Unit and collaborators in Uganda, Kenya and South Africa. I am also site-investigator on the Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine Efficacy and Safety (CARES) study in Uganda.
