Summary
I am a teaching fellow on the BSc. Medical Biosciences programme. I principally teach second year modules. Specifically I am module lead on the practical skills module, Lab Pod 2, and teach on the Cancer Biology and Pharmacology modules.
This teaching is a perfect fit for me due my research background in molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, with a particular interest in personalised medicine in blood cancers.
