Greenwell, Pamela - University of Westminster - Department of Biomedical Sciences

个人简介

Having graduated in 1976 from Thames Polytechnic with an upper second class degree in Applied Biology (Cell Biology), I was employed by the MRC Clinical Research Centre in Harrow as a non-clinical scientist in the Dept of Immunochemical Genetics from 1976 until 1983. I completed my PhD, "Glycosyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of blood group ABO antigens" under the supervision of Prof. W.M.Watkins in 1983 and received the Race and Sanger award of the British Blood Transfusion Society (BBTS) for this work. I was then funded by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (1983-1986) as a fellow before returning to the MRC. In 1989 following the closure of the department, I moved to the University of Westminster to lead the new MSc in Medical Molecular Biology: this course still runs under my leadership. I am now a principal lecturer within the Department of Biomedical Sciences and have responsibility for my teaching, the organisation and running of the PATS postgraduate tutorial system and my research group. I am a Westfocus Knowledge exchange fellow and a SeIUCCR community champion.

The focus of the research is microbial and molecular glycobiology, encompassing projects on Trichomonads (protozoa) and anaerobic bacteria. I am also collaborating with the Centre of Parallel Computing on a multidisciplinary project that aims to develop modeling and docking tools to enable in silico simulations of molecular processes as a black box technology. The project aims to investigate interactions in vivo, in vitro, on chip and in silico. I collaborate with Dr. Sharron McEldowney on a project using the computer based tools in the monitoring of environmental pollutants and with Dr. Miriam Dwek on molecular modeling in glycobiology and cancer. I have authored more than 90 papers, organised workshops in proteomics, molecular dynamics and computer modeling. I have been an invited speaker at national and international conferences. I am involved in the SeIUCCR Summer School for PhD students.
