Date of Birth 04/01/1985 Education (2008 – current) University of Warwick Ph.D ‘Microfluidic devices for DNA and protein interaction studies’. (2007 – 2008) University of Warwick M.Sc. (Hons) MOAC; Mathematical Biology and Biophysical Chemistry (distinction) (2003 – 2007) University of York B.Sc. (Hons) Biochemistry (1st class) Employment Sept. 2008 - Resident Tutor (Rootes residence), University of Warwick Current Live-in postgraduate for facilitation of student welfare and discipline in University residences. July 2005 - Smith&Nephew Research Centre (S&N RC), York July 2006 Year-in-industry placement within RC of major multinational medical products manufacturer. Research Interests  Microfluidic analytical techniques in biology and biochemistry; particularly high throughput methods.  High order regulation of gene expression through promoter and regulatory module interactions.  Design and implementation of information pipelines for rapid analysis of experimental data. Laboratory experience Year-in-Industry: Developed a body of evidence to support the efficacy of a proposed improvement to an existing product, including primary tissue cult/ure, protein arrays, biochemical assays and literature reviews. Final Year Project: Cloning and expression of Metal Transport Protein (MTP) chimeras. Work indicated contribution of previously disregarded subdomains of MTP proteins to metal ion selectivity. MOAC miniprojects: 3 x 2 month placements in (Systems Biology, Electrochemistry and Neurosciences). Ph.D.: Primary research findings: Created library of regulatory module mutants by two step LCR process using oligonucleotides optimised by a Matlab program written by myself; Cloned mutants into promoter- containing plasmid and assessed effect of mutants on expression of GFP by flow cytometry; Designed and made PDMS microfluidic chip (water-in-oil droplets) for high throughput generation of LCR substrate mixtures.
