Teaching

I have taught on both the BEng/MEng and MSc courses in Biomedical Engineering and I am currently module coordinator for BE105 (Cell Biology 1) and co-lead on the creation and implementation of new UG teaching laboratory classes.

Research Interests

Current research projects, involving collaboration with a diverse range of academic and clinical collaborators, include:

• investigating the phenotypic changes in vascular cells that underlie cardiovascular disease
• the development of organ-on-a-chip models for chronic gynaecological conditions
• the development of new methods for monitoring mitochondrial dynamics in neuronal preparations
• the development of novel materials for antimicrobial applications.
