I am an analytical scientist, and have spent all my research career monitoring biological systems. I originally trained as a chemist, and then did a PhD in Biochemical Engineering at University College London. Over the past 20 years, I have been studying small molecules as markers for disease, and have done this by analysing the breath or other biological fluids from patients for developing non-invasive diagnostics. This is an interdisciplinary approach using chemistry, physics, biology, maths, technology and medicine, and hence probably not surprisingly, I really enjoy teaching interdisciplinary science. I am particularly interested in helping new learners to access science whatever their previous background. In science, there really is something for everyone, and using our access module Y033, or entry level 1 module, S111, this is a gentle but interesting way to start your own scientific voyage of discovery.
