I am a research and communications professional, specialising in healthcare research consultancy, investigative science writing/editing and knowledge exchange/impact assessment. My main roles are to answer the many complex questions that Google can’t.

Prior to this I spent 12 years as a research scientist at the University of Leeds, working on the molecular genetics of antibiotic drug resistance in bacteria. I also worked with a team of electronic engineers to develop new hybrid-bioelectronic surfaces.
