Mark Roberts
Teaching Facilitator / Lecturer in Biochemistry, University of Oxford (Lincoln College)
I am a microbial biochemist with an interest in the cell biology of dental pathogens. I also have a strong interest in biochemical education; public engagement with biochemistry and science policy.
I spent 40 years teaching and researching, and developed a particular interest in education and career development. I chaired the Education Committee and was Careers advisor for the UK Biochemical Society. In these roles, and my work with students at the University of Manchester, I realised how important it is for young scientists to recognise their skills and be able to "sell" themselves to potential employers (and grant awarding bodies). I now run CV support sessions for young scientists on behalf of the FEBS Education Committee, of which I was a founder member.
