My research interests focus on the roles mitochondria play in aspects of eukaryotic life, ranging from their origin, metabolism, biogenesis and role they play in cell death pathways. These are interrogated using biochemical, molecular biology, genetic and cell biology techniques. I incorporate these interests into classes I teach to provide an understanding of practical techniques and also the current literature in the field. I studied biochemistry at the University of Leeds, with an industrial placement at Astra Charnwood, followed by a PhD at the University of Bristol, supervised by Professor Andrew Halestrap, to characterise the molecular composition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, with support from MitoKor. My post-doctoral training on the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis supervised by Dr Doug Green was at the La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology in San Diego, California and St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. I then was an associate research scientist working in the laboratory of Professor Alexander Tzagoloff at Columbia University in New York to study biogenesis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase in budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I held independent positions as assistant professor at the New York Institute of Technology in New York and Staffordshire University in Stoke-on-Trent where I continued my research and taught subjects related to biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and molecular biology. I am now a senior lecturer in biotechnology at Liverpool John Moores University.  I am a strong supporter of scientific communications and outreach to disseminate scientific developments and knowledge to a broader audience with the goal of increasing the general support of the scientific process. I also direct Biomed News, a free biomedical research literature discovery platform that uses machine learning.

'FEBS Communications' posts general items from the FEBS Network Team as well as news on FEBS events and other activities.

I am at the end of my PhD (at least I hope ;-) ), focusing on melanoma in my research. As I have some food intolerances, I started to be very interested by dietetics and nutrition - and I am starting with a bachelor program in this field in September 2025. Otherwise, I am a lot into dancing and sporting (climbing, hiking, snowboarding, running, yoga,...), I usually need a lot of physical activity, both indoors and outdoors. I am a scout and I love being in the nature. During my studies (and thanks to Erasmus), I've been living in Bergen (Norway), Rome, and Pisa (both in Italy).

I am a bioinformatician and molecular biologist with a strong interest in bridging experimental science and computational analysis. My work centres on genomics and proteomics, with experience and expertise in molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, toxicological profiling, ADMET analysis, and biomarker discovery using NGS data. I’m particularly motivated by the potential of integrating wet-lab research with advanced data-driven approaches to accelerate discoveries in biomedical science.
