I am also the Director of Internationalisation and the PGT lead.</p> <p>As Postgraduate Lead, I have a leadership role on the Institute of System, Molecular and Integrative Biology and the School of Life Sciences MSc programmes.<br /> As Director of Internationalisation, my role is the further strengthening of the partnership with Professional Services, especially International Development, to ensure that all aspects of internationalisation are enhanced across the School.</p> <p>I teach bioinformatics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. My passion for teaching bioinformatics has been recognised by four Teaching Awards: 2013 and 2016 Excellence in Teaching and the 2015/16 Sir Alistair Pilkington, and 2019 Biochemical Society Teaching Excellence. The latter is related to a students-as-partners teaching approach helping with student engagement and employability skills development.</p> <p>I conduct pedagogical research which has led to several publications, and I am the Editor-in-Chief of Education with FEBS Open BIO. I am a Principal Fellow of the HEA and a Fellow of the RSB. I am a member of the Biochemical Society, where I am the Chair of the Training Panel and the deputy-chair of on the Education Committee.
