I joined the School of Life & Health Sciences in October 2016 as a Lecturer in Biochemistry, having spent the previous four years as a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at the University of Lincoln. Prior to that I spent nearly seven years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford. I completed both my BSc and PhD at the University of Warwick.
I am the Associate Dean Education (Quality Assurance) in the College of Health and Life Sciences.
My research interests focus around membrane proteins and the lipid membranes in which they reside. I have experience of working with a range of membrane protein systems including receptors such as GPCRs, transporters and biogenesis systems. I use model lipid membranes to study proteins in their native environments and also to probe the effects of various compounds on the integrity of the membrane itself. For example, I have investigated the lipid-specific effects of antimicrobials and solvent on biological membranes. I have an ongoing collaboration with Green Biologics Ltd.
I am keen to collaborate on industrially-focussed projects as well as academic ones. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
