I held research fellowships on a continuous basis from 2005 to 2018. My current appointment is Senior Lecturer, School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University.

I am known globally for my breadth of clinical research expertise in obesity and related chronic diseases. As the founding President of the National Association of Clinical Obesity Services (NACOS) Incorporated, I am at the forefront of developing strategies to improve access and standards in clinical obesity services in Australia's health system. My vision is to develop new tools that support diagnostic screening and clinical decision making for the effective management of excess weight and related health complications (complex and/or chronic conditions) in general practice.
