I'm a specialist clinical immunologist, allergist, and immunopathologist based in Sydney, NSW. I'm experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with allergic diseases, autoimmune conditions, those living with HIV, and patients with immunodeficiencies. My particular interests include the treatment of immune-mediated interstitial lung diseases and neurological diseases.
After finishing medical school at The University of Sydney, I completed internship and residency at St Vincent's Hospital Sydney. I undertook Basic Physician Training at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and then Advanced Training in clinical immunology and immunopathology in the Central Sydney Immunology Network, which includes Concord Hospital, Liverpool Hospital, Campbelltown Hospital, and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
I always have the interest of patients at the centre of my practice. I've trained with a focus on the safe use of immune interventions, appropriate use of clinical and pathology testing, and the use of evidence-based medicine to the benefit of my patients.
Dual Fellowship
I hold dual Fellowships in both clinical immunology (FRACP) and immunopathology (FRCPA). My training in immunopathology means I have a deep understanding of the laboratory tests I order. No medical test is perfect and there is value in knowing how each test works and how to interpret them in context. This gives me a greater capacity to understand the whole of the healthcare system and ensure that testing is used appropriately and effectively for every patient.
Professional Education & Societies
I'm an active member of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), where I previously served as the Advanced Trainee Representative for two years. I'm now the co-chair of APIDAE (ASCIA Adult Practice Immunology Discussion and Education), a monthly peer review group for clinical immunologists across Australia and New Zealand/Aotearoa where we discuss complex clinical cases.
I also attend the Macquarie University Interstitial Lung Disease Meeting as the resident immunologist and immunopathologist.
I have contributed to national meetings including the annual RCPA PathUpdate and ASCIA Conferences.
I have been a conjoint associate lecturer with the University of New South Wales.
