Career overview
From 2012 to end 2015 Lecturer in the Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance research theme group in the Institute for Primary Care and Public Health. From January 2006 to Jan 2012 Lecturer at the Centre for Health and Environmental Research in the Institute of Primary Care and Public Health. Before that (from 2003) I was a non-clinical lecturer and Alzheimer’s Society Research Fellow in the Department of Psychological Medicine. I joined the College of Medicine in 1997 as post-doc and in 2000 was awarded a UWCM Senior Research Fellowship.
研究领域
I am a member of the Infections & Antimicrobial Resistance Research Group in the Division of Population Medicine. Research in which I am primarily involved is in infections and the use of novel technologies in the application of point of care tests and the diagnosis and management of infectious conditions. My particular interest is in using genomic and proteomic techniques in the search for clinically relevant mechanisms of host response to infection with antimicrobial resistant bacteria and the identification of useful biomarkers. We are also in the process of developing a point-of-care diagnostic device for the detection of bacterial pneumonia in exhaled breath. This device will be targeted at low and middle income developing countries.
