Teaching

At UCL, I teach basic biochemistry, antibody structure, protein energetics and bioinformatics. At Birkbeck I teach on the Bioinformatics MSc where I run the Biocomputing 2 module on best practice in programming as well as teaching on the data management module. I also teach the effects of mutations at the EBI and Cambridge University and antibody sequence and structure analysis at the EBI.

I am academic coordinator for the Transitions and Peer Assisted Learning scheme within the department and am Graduate Tutor for which I run a course on thesis writing. I chair the Staff Student Consultative Committee and am Third Year Tutor for Biochemistry.

I run a Continuing Professional Development course on antibodies together with Prof. Kerry Chester.
