个人简介
After completing a PhD on "the mechanisms of action biocides against viruses" at the Welsh School of Pharmacy, and a brief spell as an officer in the French Health Corp (St Anne' hospital, Toulon, France), I was fortunate to be appointed as a Lecturer at the Welsh School of Pharmacy at Cardiff.
In 2001, I accepted a position of Senior Lecturer at the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at Brighton, before returning to Cardiff in 2004. My return to Cardiff enabled me to redevelop Pharmaceutical Microbiology Research within the Welsh School of Pharmacy. I was made Professor of Pharmaceutical Microbiology in July 2013.
