I have Biochemistry BSc education and had my MSc degree in Medical Biochemistry. I have gained my PhD degree on Medical Biology and Genetics. I have research experience in biochemistry, cancer biology, and tumor genetics. Most recently became a member of ISUMKAM research group at Istinye University.
Nice to meet you! I am a Educational Research Lead for LearnSci, an education technology company dedicated to making interactive and engaging resources to support all aspects of science education with a core focus on undergraduate laboratory teaching and learning. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and a member of the Biochemical Society.
Nanotechnology, drug delivery systems, biosensors, chromatography, advanced materials characterization
I've long been inspired by the life sciences and have a background in scientific editorial work. At FEBS, my roles have spanned communications, website development, event organization and more – all aimed at improving the services FEBS offers the molecular life science community.
'FEBS Communications' posts general items from the FEBS Network Team as well as news on FEBS events and other activities.

Deputy head of department, Biological sciences and Senior university teaching fellow , University of Chester
In addition to being a deputy head of department and being an academic in biological sciences, I am a senior university teaching fellow and help oversee university learning and teaching.
I have expertise in innovative learning and teaching approaches and can offer talks or workshops related to:
Use of apps for student engagement
Voting systems and technology in teaching
Large group teaching
Assessment and use of online feedback
Embedding skills in the curriculum
I am research active in biochemistry/structure of carbohydrates and microbiology (quorum sensing/biofilms). I have a number of PhD students investigating these areas.
Biophysical chemistry, structure of proteins, applications of spectrometric methods in biochemistry, practical training of students
Expertise in teaching. Using interactive videos in teaching. Flipped classroom. Digital exams. Team Based Learning in biochemistry.

I am a Professor of Toxicology, Biochemistry and Cell Signaling at Université Paris Cité (former Université Paris Descartes). I have completed my PhD in molecular toxicology and a post-graduate year in Bethesda, MD. I am the head of a Master degrees in toxicology and ecotoxicology. My research is based on cellular and animal models and on three main axes: 1) the influence of persistent organic pollutants on breast tumorigenesis and metabolic disruption, 2) the contextual role of pollutants in the occurrence of chronic liver diseases including steatosis and fibrosis, 3) the effect of mixtures on the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. I am involved in the development of innovative pedagogy methods and technics in order to improve transmission, acquisition, memorization and utilization of scientific knowledge by our biomedical students. I used flipped classrooms, quizzes (at home and during courses) and virtual reality to interact and immerge with students in and outside the classroom. Indeed, I developed with pedagogic engineers, 1) Home-based 45’’ Quizzes to engage students in regular learning modes and 2) serious games on cell signaling and xenobiotic stress. Together, with Etienne Blanc, Caroline Chauvet and Frédéric Dardel, I wrote several French books of biochemistry and toxicology topics for undergraduate students. I collaborate with several national and international institutes and universities (CNAM Thierry KOSCIELNIAK, Université de Strasbourg Jean-Luc SOUCIET, National University of Singapore, Fun Man FUNG...) for the development of innovative methods in teaching.
