Biography
I completed my PhD in 2011 and followed this with seven years of postdoctoral research experience, all at the University of Manchester. My scientific research interests are primarily focused on the respiratory epithelium and airway scarring responses to inhaled allergens. I joined the University of Salford in 2018 where I continue to develop my scientific research. Alongside this, I work to co-create projects with students with the view to build employability. My pedagogical research findings have been widely presented and led to two Times Higher Most Innovative Teacher of the year nominations and being shortlisted for this award in 2021. I was appointed directorate lead for Student experience in 2021 and also lead the Biomedical Science programme.
