Hollis, Veronica - University of Southampton

个人简介

Dr Veronica Hollis completed her PhD at the Medical Physics and Bioengineering Department at University College London. Her doctoral research involved using near-infrared spectroscopy as a non-invasive method of measuring brain temperature in newborn infants undergoing mild hypothermic treatment for birth asphyxia. Veronica continued her postdoctoral research at UCL in the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, where she investigated the effect of nitric oxide on mitochondrial bioenergetics in respiring cells using visible light spectroscopy. In 2009 Veronica came to Southampton to work with Professor Hywel Morgan in the Electronics and Computer Science Department, in collaboration with Dr Judith Holloway in the Faculty of Medicine, on the development of a miniaturised point-of-care device for evaluating blood cell counts, based on electrical impedance and optical fluorescence-based cytometric techniques. Veronica then joined a research project in the Human Development and Health Academic Unit, led by Drs Judith Holloway and Nicola Englyst, to investigate the role of endothelial microparticles in cardiovascular disease, using fluorescence labelling of surface markers and flow cytometric techniques to measure microparticles in blood plasma. In 2014 Veronica took up the role of Teaching Fellow in the Faculty of Medicine to work with Dr Judith Holloway, the Programme Leader for the MSc Allergy, for which Veronica is now the Assessment Lead and a module leader for the Foundations of Allergic Disease, Work Based Learning and Teaching the Teachers to Teach modules. During this time Veronica has completed Modules 1 and 2 towards her Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice, gaining affiliation as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Veronica’s research interests have been predominantly biomedical in nature, built on her background in medical physics and bioengineering. In her current teaching role Veronica’s interests have turned towards medical education research. She is currently completing research into the impact on students’ health care-related teaching practices of an educational intervention, the Teaching the Teachers to Teach module, run for the first time as part of the MSc Allergy course in 2015-16. This will also form part of the third and final module for completion of her Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice
