Senior Lecturer in Applied Biosciences
Teaching and supervision
I have a broad biomedical background and teach subjects relating to biosciences, human sciences and applied statistics. I am the module lead for Molecular and Cellular Biology and for Research and Analytical Skills for Biosciences.
Research interests for potential research students
I am able to offer projects in salivary biomarkers research for many types of subjects/research areas. For example, I will be supervising a student for a Drug Discovery and Development MSc investigating the impact of cold-water swimming on menopausal inflammatory and stress related salivary biomarkers in 23/24.
Research
I have originally specialised in psychoneuroimmunology, studying the links between brain, behaviour and the immune system. I have then moved on to investigate the immunological relationship between periodontitis and diabetes, becoming finally more and more involved with salivary biomarkers research on its own, in a variety of different subjects.
