Staff Profile

I am a Consultant Ophthalmologist and vitreo-retinal surgeon at  Sunderland Eye infirmary  and Honorary Professor of Retinal Surgery at the Bioscience Institute at Newcastle University. I am also Honorary Visiting Professor of Ophthalmology at Liverpool University. 

I qualified in Medicine at Newcastle and completed my ophthalmology training in the North East and South West of England. I undertook sub speciality training in retinal surgery at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Melbourne and was appointed as Consultant at the Eye Infirmary in 1999.

I am the current President of the British and Eire Association of Vitreoretinal Surgeons (BEAVRS) and an elected board member of the international and prestigious Club Jules Gonin of retinal specialists.

I am the clinical lead for the South of Tyne diabetic retinopathy screening programming and  lead for surgical retina at the Eye Infirmary.

I set up and lead the clinical trials unit at Sunderland with over 20 currently recruiting clinical trials in retinal topics.

My current research can be segregated in the following areas: 

1) I am a founder with Professor Lako of the retinal stem cell research group. (http://www.retinalstemcellresearch.co.uk/index.htm) 

2) I have an interest in the role of inflammation and complement regulation in AMD and work with the Newcastle complement group investigating this

3) Related to above I am also  principal investigator of several ATIMPs including 4 current gene therapy trials,  and also participated  in the world's  first embryonic stem cell derived RPE cell trial 

4) I am involved in a number of retinal image analysis projects working with the UK Biobank and the NICOLA dataset amongst others. These are investigating a diverse group of retinal biomarkers in conditions such as Macular holes and other vitreoretinal interface disorders, diabetic macular oedema, as well as systemic conditions such as Parkinson's disease.  

5) I am co-lead for the BEAVRS dataset and am  analysing several aspects of Macular hole and retinal detachment outcomes
