TEACHING INTERESTS

I am currently supervising several PhD students and have previously supervised 12 successful PhD students.

I have a wide experience of course design, teaching, and assessment for undergraduate and postgraduate in the biological sciences / biomedical sciences. This includes delivering lectures, small group teaching sessions, tutorials, problem-based learning sessions, practical laboratory classes, and research project supervision.

I am currently course tutor for level 5 undergraduate molecular genetics and biochemistry students
