I joined the University in 1997 as a PhD student. During the course of my PhD, I discovered a number of novel anti-angiogenic agents which were patented by the University of ºù«Ӱҵ and led to me being given the AACR – Novartis Scholar In Training Award (2000) and the BACR Translational Research Award (2005) - both in open competition.
In 2004 I was appointed to a lectureship and was awarded the Certificate in Learning and Teaching in 2009. In 2013 I designed and established the MSc(Res) in Translational Oncology and in 2016 I became a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Senior Lecturer. I was the departmental director of learning and teaching for the Department of Oncology & Metabolism from 2018-2021.I am currently the Director of Intercalated Studies, the Deputy Director of the Personal Academic Tutoring scheme, the medical school Disability Liaison officer for PGT, and the History of Medicine Lead. I am also a member of the University Discipline Committee.
