Responsibilities

Research Background

Research background in molecular virology and turnover of extracellular matrix. Expertise in molecular biology and recombinant protein expression.

Pedagogic Research Interests 

Attendance monitoring as a trigger for pastoral support; learning gain; alternative final year projects; distraction by social media 

Teaching

As Head of School of Biomedical, Nutritional and Sport sciences I led the management and delivery of all degree programmes in the school and I teach on a range of modules, including:

CMB1003 Microbiology and immunology - virology

BGM2012 Clinical Immunology & Viral pathogens - viral pathogens (module leader)

BMS3010  Genetics of common disease - genetics of infectious disease

CMB3001 Research design project - supervisor

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and participate regularly in conferences and workshops relating to higher education and pedagogy.
