My main interests are in sociology (especially sociology of health and illness), philosophy, psychology and qualitative research methods.
I am currently working at Egenis on my PhD research studying the role of genetic knowledge and technology in familial and professionals’ constructions of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). I am working with my supervisors Dr. Susan Kelly and Dr Hannah Farrimond at Egenis, and Dr. Peter Turnpenny at Clinical Genetics in the RD & E Heavitree hospital in Exeter, on the consequences of diagnosing Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), a common but relatively unknown genetic syndrome.
