David joined HERC as a Researcher in October 2016. He has worked on a variety of projects spanning multiple disease areas and methodologies, ranging from the use of expert elicitation to identify diagnostic pathways in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to within trial analysis of phase 3 randomised trials in oncology.  

In his DPhil project, David seeks to continue his work on the comparative assessment of new advanced radiotherapy technologies. This will be done through the development of microsimulation models as well as trial and registry data analysis across a variety of cancer sites.
