Biography
I obtained a first class BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology with Industrial Experience from the University of Edinburgh. As part of my degree I spent time in industry developing drug safety assays. For my
I came to Keele to pursue a full-time teaching role as an Associate Teaching Fellow in Bioscience and later promoted to Teaching Fellow. In 2019 I became a Lecturer (E&S) in Bioscience
I was awarded Senior Fellow status from Advance HE in 2024.
Research and scholarship
During my PhD and postdoc, my research focused on extracellular matrix remodelling in both the ageing and diseased heart.
As a Lecturer at Keele my scholarship activity focuses on the creation of interactive revision resources to support learning of physiology and pharmacology. In 2020 I was awarded The David Jordan
Teaching
I teach on the MBChB, MSc Physician’s Associate (PA) studies and the MSci Paramedic Science programmes at Keele University. I lecture on the physiology and pharmacology strands of these
