个人简历

My main area of research concerns the role of gene and genome duplication in vertebrate evolution. Past models for this have included basal (non-teleost) ray-finned fish such as Polypterus, gars and bowfin and cartilaginous fish including the lesser spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) and little skate (Leucoraja erinacea). My current research is focused on determining the function of the enigmatic Pdx2 gene, which has been retained in parallel in only a few vertebrate lineages and investigations of the role of gene duplication in the evolution of snake venom.
Teaching
I completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCertHE) in 2014 and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
I contribute to delivery of various undergraduate and postgraduate modules, including:
BSX1018 'Tutorials'
BNS2001/2002 'Evolution & Genetics' [module organiser]
BSX2018 'Animal Behaviour'
BSX2022 'Vertebrate Biology'
BSX3148 'Practical Developmental Biology' [module organiser]
BSM4101 'Marine Biotechnology' [module organiser]
In addition to the above, I supervise undergraduate (3rd and 4th year) and postgraduate (MSc) research projects and welcome enquiries from prospective students.
