BIO

I am an ENT surgeon and trialist and lead the translational hearing research programme of the NIHR UCLH BRC Hearing Health Theme.

My research focuses on translation of hearing discoveries into novel treatments for patients with hearing loss. This ranges from designing and delivering first-in-man trials, analysis of routine health data, to health economics and health policy to prepare healthcare systems for the arrival of drug, gene and cell therapies for hearing loss.

I have led the successful delivery of the first trial worldwide of a regenerative hearing drug in adults with sensorineural hearing loss (REGAIN, EU Horizon 2020 €5.8m). I also hold a chair at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands, working with primary care researchers to develop evidence-based interventions for otitis media in children.
