Research

My research is within the field of clinical anatomy, with my main area of interest being musculoskeletal anatomy, particularly of the hip, pelvic and hamstring regions. I have a professional background in physiotherapy, and endeavour to produce applied research that is relevant to clinical practice. Much of my work is focused on exploring the morphology and function of musculoskeletal structures, using a combination of traditional (anatomical) approaches such as dissection, histology and immunohistochemistry as well as modern imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound.
