Personal profile

Research interests

My research in the area of paediatric rheumatology includes:

  • Randomised controlled trials of novel biological drugs in children with JIA associated uveitis. I am the Co-Chief Investigator of Sycamore Trial (RCT of adalimumab in JIA associated uveitis) funded by HTA/ARUK. I am also the Co-Chief Investigator of a trial of Tocilizumab in anti TNF refractory JIA associated uveitis.
  • Leading on new agents for management of refractory arthritis in collaboration with industry
  • Design and conduct studies in rare disease using novel study designs (Bayesian and Simon design)
  • Looking at diagnostic markers and new therapies for MAS or secondary HLH
  • Collaboration with colleagues in India on secondary HLH in Dengue fever
  • Basic science studies on understanding pathogenesis of lupus nephritis
  • Biomarkers in JIA and JIA associated uveitis.
