My research theme is novel infection diagnostics, predominantly in the intensive care unit setting, to improve outcomes for patients and identify strategies to address antibiotic resistance.

In support of this aim, I have a leadership role in several large national multicentre clinical trials. These are funded by NIHR and industry partners and they focus on investigating the effectiveness of new diagnostic and treatment strategies, for patients with serious infections, in the NHS.
