My research focus is on combining and evaluating research to inform health policy, including in the areas of tobacco control, electronic cigarettes, diet, physical activity, and management of long-term conditions. I am co-lead of the NIH-FDA Center for the Assessment of Tobacco Products Policy Analysis and Dissemination Core. I also have a particular interest in diabetes, having lived with type 1 diabetes since childhood. I work closely with Cochrane and lead a number of research programs focusing on smoking cessation and electronic cigarettes. I work hard to engage the public in my research and have been involved in podcasts, blogging, tv and radio interviews, and songwriting to communicate research results outside of academia.
