Spotlight on... Professor Alastair Sutcliffe

Professor Alastair Sutcliffe This week we meet Alastair Sutcliffe, Professor of General Paediatrics, who was recently given a Points of Light Award by the Prime Minister for his work helping Ukrainian children. Here, he chats to us about his research - and the Marmara Sea. What is your role and what does it involve?. Hello everyone, I am a Professor of General Paediatrics at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health. I am also a Hon Consultant Paediatrician and do some (modest amounts of ) clinical work. My main day job activities involve supervising a very bright team of both clinical and non-clinical scientists, who are at various stages of career progression - I also do my fair share of teaching. We are interested in the interface between women and child health and have conducted many studies regarding outcomes of fertility treatments and are now studying sub-fertile adults too. 2.2% of children born in the UK are born after such treatments, and this is increasing year on year.
