Research Fellow, University of Oxford, University of Oxford ervantée Wild is a Girdlers’ New Zealand Health Research Council Fellow at Green Templeton College. I am an interdisciplinary health services researcher interested in improving health services and systems for children, young people and their families. I work alongside clinicians in the intersection between clinical and public health to prioritise participant voices in service improvement and systems change. I have broad training in health sciences, public health and political studies, with experience in both quantitative and qualitative health research. My research interests increasingly span the social and political determinants of health and health inequities. I am based in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences in the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group. I currently work on an NIHR-funded study to understand family experiences of Long Covid in order to support self-care and timely access to services. My doctoral research with the Liggins Institute, University of Auckland, focused on improving outcomes for families involved in a novel child and adolescent obesity intervention programme while addressing health equity. The mixed-methods research investigated the challenges surrounding engagement in health services for childhood obesity and long-term persistence of healthy lifestyle change. Since then I have contributed to a range of studies on multidisciplinary obesity intervention, enabling fair and informed involvement in child health research, and healthcare workers’ experiences of PPE access during the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand as part of the PPE disinfection for potential reuse project with the University of Auckland.

Lecturer, Aston University n 2010 I completed my degree in Human Biology at the University of Huddersfield and began my PhD at Aston focusing on medicines research. Here, formulation of oral liquid antihypertensives formed the initial stages of my project; here an understanding of drug action on a molecular level in a physiological setting was essential. In vitro and In vivo characterisation of developed formulations utilising cell and rodent based models paved the way for subsequent genomic investigations into intestinal transporter expression profiling using microarray technology and bioinformatics. Following my PhD I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Aston on a project focused on in vitro assessment of taste and was carried out in collaboration with market leading pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca, GSK, Pfizer and Bristol Myers Squib as well as UCL. During this time I also elevated my teaching profile and arrived at Aston University as a Lecturer in Pharmacy in 2015. Since my lectureship appointment I have been heavily involved with teaching on the MPharm degree programme and I am pursuing my own line of research in formulation design and development. I have recently been awarded funding internally for a PhD studentship investigating the application of 3D printing technology in tablet production which commenced in January 2018. More recent research tracks have seen innovation in the application of nanoparticle formulations to better target administration in hospital settings.
