About me

I am a committed Consultant in the Division of Vascular Surgery within the Department of General Surgery. My PhD research focused on understanding the role of neutrophils in carotid disease. Over the years, I have expanded my research. Currently, I am involved in pioneering research on metformin in international collaboration with institutions like Stanford University and Uppsala University.

Since 2018, I have led the first randomised controlled trial evaluating Metformin in non-diabetic patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. From October 2020 onwards, I took on the leadership of the Aortic PhD Fellowship, focusing on innovative endovascular devices in a specialised vascular model for stent grafts and bridging stents. My expertise spans translational research in atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms including complex aortic endovascular repair.
