My particular research interest is in vulval disease. I am Chief Investigator for the Living with Vulval Lichen Sclerosus: A Mixed Methods Study, funded by the Economic and Research Council. I am growing my portfolio of research in this field and I am interested to hear from potential collaborators in the area of vulval dermatological conditions.
