About me

Module leader for the level 1 module Human Biological Systems.

Module leader for the level 2 module Studies in the Biology of Disease.

Module leader for the level 3 module Clinical Biochemistry.

Completed PhD and postdoc examining the expression of the human branched chain aminotransferase protein and the metabolism of the branched chain amino acids in the human brain in both health and disease (UWE).  Since then, my research interests have expanded into the metabolism of cancer and the production of novel cancer therapies.  

Area of expertise

TEACHING

In teaching I cover a range of subjects at varying levels.  Subjects like Pathophysiology and Biochemistry I cover from level 1 (in Infection and Disease) to level 3 and MSc level (in Clinical Biochemistry).  I also cover a range of topics teaching all content on the level 1 module Human Biological Systems. 

Every year I take final year undergraduate students and masters students for their projects.  These will involve techniques such as cell culture, flow cytometry and wet transfer Western blot. 

RESEARCH

Over the course of my research career, I have gained a working understanding of molecular biology, protein biochemistry, neuroanatomy and neuropathology, particularly associated with dementia and cancer pathology.  I have collaborated with key researchers in neurological disease such as Professor Seth Love and Professor Patrick Kehoe at the South West Dementia Brain Bank (University of Bristol); Dr. Kathreena Kurian at the Department of Neuropathology (Southmead Hospital); and Dr. Mehta at the Department of Haematology (University Hospital, Bristol).
