About Lexy
I am a Senior Research Fellow in the Medical Statistics research group at Peninsula Medical School. My current research interests lie in the planning and analysis of clinical trials and observational studies. I am particularly interested in the development and application of statistical methodologies to medical research. Some of the projects I am currently working on include:
- The ENRICH trial of ibrutinib and rituximab for patients with Mantle-cell lymphoma.
- The POPPY study investigating patient reported outcomes in quality of recovery, postoperative pain and pain relief in adults undergoing day case surgery.
- The RESOLVE trial of a very low-calorie diet for patients with hepatic steatosis before liver surgery.
- The RETREAT phase 0 trial of Ritonavir and Lopinavir in NF2-related schwanamatosis patients.
I co-supervise one statistical PhD, two MD and MSc dissertation students.

I currently teach the Evidence-Based Practice module to Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) year one undergraduates (2021 - present). I am an academic tutor to year one BMBS undergraduate students. Previously, while in the Mathematics department within the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, I have taught Multivariate Calculus (Advanced Calculus) to year two undergraduates (2020 - 2021), Probability with Applications to year one undergraduates (2019 - 2020) and demonstrated for Statistical Inference and Regression (year two, 2018 - 2019) and SUM:UP (2017 - 2020).
