About

I'm a London-based medical student who has previously completed a PhD in health inequalities.

My active research projects are:
1) The mental health of poor people and ethnic minorities living in affluent areas (started 2012). This is a collaboration led by myself involving a psychiatrist at the Royal Free hospital (London), a fellow medical student at Barts and The London (London), and an epidemiologist at Manchester.
2) The role of Vitamin D deficiency in multiple sclerosis (started 2012). This is a collaboration led by a neurologist at the Royal London hospital, involving myself, another doctor at the Royal London, and a geneticist at Oxford.
3) The sustainability of London's geographic inequalities (started 2011). This is a collaboration led by Sir Michael Marmot (UCL, WHO) which was originally destined to be a chapter for a book on London's sustainability, but is now a working paper until it is further developed. People involved include myself with a focus on socioeconomic geographical inequality and another epidemiologist with a focus on ethnic geographical inequality.

Examples of my previous projects include:
- Co-authored systematic and narrative reviews of neighbourhood effects on health related to ethnicity and socioeconomic status (Started 2009 & Published 2012).
- Co-authored chapter on health inequalities in a book on youth-related political ideas (Started 2011 & Published 2012).
- PhD thesis: "Are Poor People Healthier in Rich or Poor Areas? The Psychosocial Effects of Socioeconomic Incongruity in the Neighbourhood" (Started 2007 & Completed 2011).
