Mary joined LJMU in January 2023 as Senior Lecturer in Public and EU Law, and since September 2023 has also been Secretary of the British Association for Comparative Law (BACL) as well as LJMU's representative. She leads the European and Comparative Public Law Research Unit within the Centre for the Study of Law in Theory and Practice (LTAP) and is Deputy Programme Leader for Academic LLMs. Since January 2023 she has been module leader for Law of the Single Market of the EU (Level 5), and in 2023/24 is also teaching on Foundations and Independent Legal Learning (Level 4), Constitutional Law (Level 4), and Advanced Legal Research Methods (Level 7).

Mary's research interests focus primarily on the interaction of EU and national law and policy in the healthcare context. Her first monograph was published by Intersentia in 2019, and she has published book chapters with Hart, Edward Elgar and OUP, as well as a range of articles in leading journals such as Public Law, Legal Studies, the European Journal of Risk Regulation, Health Economics, Policy and Law, and the Medical Law Review.

Mary was awarded a highly competitive British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Small Grant and has obtained further external funding from the University Association for Contemporary European Studies (UACES) for the establishment of the EU Health Governance research network, initially between 2021 and 2024, and now also to develop this until 2026 (https://euhealthgov.org/). She has also established a successful virtual seminar series, Health in Europe, which showcases a range of research across Europe and North America (https://www.youtube.com/@healthineurope2020).

Mary has presented her research at top universities and organisations such as LSE; the European University Institute Florence; Bristol; Edinburgh; Amsterdam and Maastricht; as well as the Nuffield Trust; the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets, and the Dutch Healthcare Authority. Her written evidence was accepted by the House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee's Inquiries into the 2019 NHS Long Term Plan and the White Paper preceding the Health and Care Act 2022.

Mary's research expertise has led to collaborations with academics and practitioners in the UK and abroad (particularly Brussels and the Netherlands). She welcomes strong proposals for doctoral and post-doctoral research in the broad areas of EU law, public law, health and welfare.

Prior to joining LJMU, Mary was Lecturer in Law at Lancaster University, where she was also Director of International Programmes and Student Exchange and Director of Admissions, and supervised PhD candidates as well as Masters and Undergraduate dissertations. She has also held visiting researcher posts at the Brussels School of International Studies, the University of Amsterdam and Maastricht University.
