Prior to joining the University, my professional background was in the biotech and pharma industries, where I worked as a Senior Bioanalytical Scientist running regulated PK/PD/TK studies. I also have experience working in histopathology, performing cancer diagnostics using protein and genetic biomarker assays, such as immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridisation.
