I was appointed Director of the Institute for Health Research, University of Bedfordshire in April, 2005, and was
appointed Professor of Diversity in Public Health. I am a highly successful
researcher with interests in renal transplantation, diabetes, and ethnicity.
My
research grants have totalled more than £3million and I have published more than
50 peer-reviewed papers. My PhD was in the area of renal transplantation in UK
South Asians.
I am currently a member of the Government’s Organ Donation Taskforce commissioned by the Secretary of State for Health.
I have successfully supervised postgraduate students at Master’s level
and is currently supervising one PhD student and a post-doctoral fellow.
I sit on many University, local, and national advisory groups, and review extensively for scientific journals and research grant-making bodies. With my NHS ‘hat’ on, I am Chairman of Luton Primary Care NHS Trust.
