研究领域
My main research interests are the proteomic and functional characterisation of mammalian sperm cells at fertilization which for many years has been in close collaboration with Dr Bart Gadella at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. My preferred career direction and its many commitments have necessitated that my own research has been a minor activity during my time in Cardiff and I am no longer independently research active. My main association with the field is now as an Editorial Board Member for the journal Reproduction (Impact Factor 3.184; since 2013) and formerly I was also an Editorial Board Member (Associate Editor) for Molecular Human Reproduction (Impact Factor 3.943; 2012-2015).
Before Cardiff I was a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham and Birmingham NHS Assisted Conception Unit (2000-2003) and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Sheffield (1993-2000) and primarily focused on molecular aspects of sperm function. These varied roles also included a wide range of other research projects in reproduction and several years working on commercial projects (and in particular a male fertility test and a study using human stem cell technologies). My PhD (1994) on the biochemistry of mammalian glycolipid anchors was conducted as a Research Assistant at the University of Leeds and also involved spending extended time with collaborators at the University of Dundee. I was a Research Assistant at the University of York (1989-1990) where I investigated the biochemistry of the Fallopian tube with weekly experiments performed in the operating theatres at Hammersmith Hospital. Lastly I also studied for my first degree at the University of York and graduated in 1989 with a BSc (Hons) in Biology (Cell Biology and Biochemistry).
