Background
In 2007, I joined Medipex Ltd (NHS Innovations) as an IP & Innovation Manager. The role worked at the interface of industry, academia and the NHS. The aim was to support development, adoption and scaling of promising innovations across England's NHS for greater organisational and patient benefit.
I rejoined academia in 2011 at Leeds University with responsibility for commercialisation of IP, licensing and spin-out activities in the Engineering and Physical Sciences fields.
I have a PhD in Biochemistry, a first degree in Biotechnology (BSc), and a Diploma in Business Enterprise.
