Career Trajectory
Bio
I am currently a HCPC registered Associate Professor in Clinical Microbiology at Aston University. I am a Chartered Scientist (CSci), Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science (FIBMS), Member of the Society of Biology (MSB) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). I undertook his PhD in Medical Microbiology focusing upon the serological response to short chain exocellular lipoteichoic acid produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis. Following my PhD, I continued to undertake clinical research into intravascular device related sepsis, skin antisepsis, MRSA and Clostridium difficile. Since 2004, I have been awarded in excess of £1,000,000 of research funding from sources including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and the Department of Health to explore novel strategies in infection control including: improved skin antisepsis and hard surface disinfection, development of a novel hand hygiene antimicrobial and the development of germination-biocide formulation for elimination of Clostridium difficile spores and other clinically relevant microorganisms from within the clinical setting. In addition to liaising closely with academic colleagues in the fields of microbiology, pharmaceutics and drug delivery, I have well-established research collaborations with both the healthcare industry and the NHS. To date, I have over 50 peer reviewed publications, and contributed chapters to fundamental microbiology text books and I’m co-author on the 4th edition of Lecture Notes on Medical Microbiology and Infection (2007). Between 2011-2013, I have continued to practice as a senior lecturer at Aston University which comprises key areas: Teaching, Research and Administration. Within the field of teaching, I supervise a significant number of UG/PG students in the field of Biomedical Science and also act of research supervisor to final year students undertaking their studies in local NHS hospitals. My teaching and lectures have been influenced by my CPD activities including public engagement activities (world of microbiology roadshow), research and public engagement activities, and personal experience now constitutes key sections lecture information (in addition to text book material). I have continually published papers within the field of clinical microbiology and the research findings have been presented at appropriate scientific proceedings eg. ECCMID. Over the previous two years, I have had 7 research articles published and continually presented at ECCMID or appropriate national proceedings (PharmSci, SfAM, CDA workshops). I also undertake a significant voluntary public engagement role through delivering the world of microbiology roadshow on a national and international platform and as a consequence, the experience gained from the roadshow had led to significant improvements in my teaching, influencing fellow colleagues, developing UG students and engineering key overseas work placements in Kenya for students undertaking a placement related Biomedical Science degree at Aston University. In addition to the roadshow I undertake a voluntary role in delivering microbiology lectures to STEM students wishing to pursue a related degree programme in the future.
