Research

My background is signal transduction within the immune system. More specifically concerning the function of receptors/co–receptors and signalling pathways in T cells and the consequences of altering these pathways, especially on cell migration and adhesion. I completed my PhD with Prof Doreen Cantrell in Dundee in 2006, after which I was a post-doc with Chris Rudd in Cambridge before moving to Glaxo SmithKline in Stevenage to continue research within drug discovery. I am also passionate about and enjoy the teaching of science through writing articles for The Naked Scientists and tutoring.
