Personal profile
Current Research Interests
My lab research focuses on understanding how steroid hormones are produced (a process known as steroidogenesis) and defining the actions of different steroid hormones in the reproductive system.
My pedagogical research focuses on Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Mentorship at UK-China Joint Educational Institutes.
Teaching
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (Advance HE) and am happy to nominate or mentor applicants, please get in touch.
