Dr Emily Sammons is a Clinical Research Fellow and DPhil student at the Clinical Trial Service Unit & Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU), with particular research interests in diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration.
Alongside this, she works on two large randomised controlled trials: ASCEND and REVEAL.
ASCEND is studying whether aspirin and omega-3 fish oil supplementation protects against cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes.
REVEAL is assessing the safety and benefits of taking a new lipid-modifying drug called anacetrapib, by those with pre-existing atherosclerotic vascular disease.
