Dr Mary Cameron obtained her Ph.D. in Medical Entomology in 1987.

Since the birth of her baby, she works part-time as a Research Fellow at The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and is a member of the panel of experts for the Public Health Advisory Service (PHAS). The PHAS has produced a "House dust mite and allergy" advice line which provides information about how house dust mites affect our lives and how they can be controlled. It gives practical and unbiased advice on the products available, how well they work and value for money. Contact details for reputable manufacturers and suppliers are also listed.
