Neuro-oncology and brain tumour care
Research activity includes treatment strategies for newly diagnosed glioblastoma, with attention to MGMT promoter methylation, IDH-wildtype disease, and the use of radiotherapy with systemic therapy. The clinical focus also extends to tumor treating fields in the management of aggressive central nervous system malignancy.
- Glioblastoma
- Temozolomide and lomustine treatment strategies
- Radiotherapy in brain tumour care
Interest is centred on survival-focused treatment pathways for high-grade glioma and multimodal oncologic care.
Infectious disease and antibiotic therapy
The sponsor supports research in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, with emphasis on optimising cloxacillin treatment and understanding how renal function relates to drug exposure. The work reflects a clinical interest in managing bloodstream infection through more precise antimicrobial care.
- Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia
- Cloxacillin treatment optimisation
- Therapeutic drug monitoring
Key themes include dosing individualisation and treatment adequacy in serious bacterial infection.
Obstetric care and perineal injury
Clinical research also addresses repair of obstetric perineal lacerations, with focus on pain control, patient comfort, and procedural complications during postpartum care. The area includes use of pudendal nerve block alongside sedation approaches in women with grade I and II tears.
- Obstetric perineal lacerations
- Pain and discomfort management
- Pudendal nerve block and sedation
This reflects a therapeutic interest in maternal recovery and symptom relief during perineal repair.
