    "Happy is he who gets to know the reasons for things" Virgil

    I currently work as a Lecturer in Genetics and Computational Biology within Cranfield Health at Cranfield University as a member of the Cranfield Bioinformatics Group, and I am the current course director for Cranfield Health's MSc in Applied Bioinformatics with significant teaching responsibilities

    Initially a laboratory scientist, focus has steady shifted towards in silico approaches. My current research focus is broadly in the area of functional genomics; the exploration of the dynamics and regulation of transcription/translation and protein function from sequence information. I also have an interest in device development towards the diagnostic application of biomarkers. Current research areas include:

    • Identification of novel gene promoter motifs for prediction of co-expression
    • Genome-wide SNP susceptibility screening and SNP-based multiplex assay design
    • Sequence-based identification of novel conserved protein motifs
    • Synthetic antigen peptide prediction for antibody and synthetic receptor targeting
    • Protein structure and function modelling for target identification/characterisation
    • Development of integrated chemoinformatic small molecule screening databases
