BIO

I’m a Research Fellow at University of Technology Syndey’s Centre for Health Economics Research and Evaluation (CHERE). I am a member of the health technology assessment team that evaluates submissions made to the Australian Government to reimburse new medicines and medical devices through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS). These evaluations play a crucial role in assisting the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee in making informed decisions. My research broadly focuses on health technology assessment and its application to inform policy and clinical decision-making. I have a keen interest in estimating the comparative cost-effectiveness of health care interventions, employing both trial-based and modelled approaches.
