Senior Research Funding Development Manager

In my role as a Senior Research Funding Development Manager I support academic colleagues with their applications to UK funding bodies to enable their research. In particular, I support the School of Engineering. I also work flexibly within the team to respond to research development opportunities across the SAgE Faculty, including facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration across the University.

Our Research Funding Development Team provides:

• Advice on funder strategy;
• Information on funders' forthcoming plans and opportunities;
• Support for large and complex funding applications;
• Visits and information sessions from funders;
• 'In-house' funding information sessions (for the University, Schools and Groups);
• Advice on finding funding;
• Advice on preparing funding applications;
• Lay review of funding applications.

For more information please see the Science, Agriculture and Engineering Faculty research support website (internal only): 

Please get in touch if I can help in any way with your research funding.

Background and interests

I have a degree in Natural Sciences (specialising in biology and chemistry) from The University of East Anglia (2011) and an MRes in Medical and Molecular Biosciences from Ãå±±½ûµØ (2012). 

In 2016, I obtained a PhD in molecular biology and biochemistry at The Northern Institute for Cancer Research (now Ãå±±½ûµØ Centre for Cancer) at Ãå±±½ûµØ. My research investigated the role of the NFAT and NF-κB transcriptional signalling pathways in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. 

Outside of my role as team lead for the SAgE Research Funding Development Team I enjoy swimming, running, dog-walking, cooking and making home-made soaps!
