Biography

I completed my PhD and MD at the University of Cambridge, Departments of Clinical Biochemistry and Medicine and am currently a practicing endocrinologist. The time I spend with patients shapes my understanding of their needs as well as the gaps they experience in existing healthcare systems. This is both rewarding and incredibly valuable to the work I do each day at AstraZeneca.
