About
My academic career began when I completed my undergraduate degree in Human Physiology at the University of Greenwich in 2001. During the final year of my degree, I developed a keen interest in neuroscience and pharmacology.
I then undertook an MSc in Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. My research interest in the field of physiology and neuroscience developed during this time and I then embarked upon a PhD in 2003 within the Department of Craniofacial Development, working on the morphology and genetics of the developing middle ear at King's College London. I completed my PhD in 2007.
My current research is focused on comorbidities and conductive hearing loss as well neuropharmacological agents and their effects on planarian species.
In 2018, I achieved the postgraduate diploma in higher education and become a fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2022.
I teach on undergraduate physiology and pharmacology courses as well as postgraduate pharmacology.
