My research involves studying the equilibrium dynamics and unfolding of proteins using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

 

I graduated with an MChem from Leicester University in 2000 followed by an MPhil from Manchester University where I worked on designing novel NMR pulse sequences. I then spent 3 years in industry; in these interim years I dabbled with analytical chemistry at AstraZeneca and Boots Healthcare International and experimented with novel transdermal drug delivery methods at the Aphton Corporation. I returned to academia in 2005 to research protein folding using both experimental and computational techniques as a joint member of the Hirst and Searle groups.
