Biography

I obtained my MSc in Biochemistry from Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, in 2004 and then went on to do a PhD at the University of Edinburgh. After a brief stay in Brisbane, Australia, I took up a postdoctoral position with Prof. Sir Tom Blundell at the University of Cambridge in 2008. During this post I became interested in fragment-based drug discovery, which is still an emerging field when targeting protein-protein interactions. In 2012 I joined Prof. Richard Bayliss’ lab at the University of Leicester where I worked on separases. In September 2016 I was delighted to start a lectureship position at Keele University which was a joint appointment with ILL in Grenoble, France.  I am married with two children.
