I am a member of the bioinformatics Research Technology Platform at the University of Warwick which is funded to provide bioinformatics support for research projects within and external to the University. Previously I was funded by BBSRC to provided bioinformatics support for a number of research projects within the school of Life Sciences and beyond. Organisationally I am within the dept. of Computer Science. I am also employed as a post-doctoral researcher within the Applied Water Physics theme at Wetsus in the Netherlands.

My current projects are:

• Evaluation of the role of Rgs7 as a key regulator of signalling pathways controlling adipocyte function with Mark Christian
• Investigating anti-tumour t-cell responses in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma to refine vaccine-based Immunotherapies with Professor Paul Murray at the University of Birmingham
• Member of the team supporting and developing the Enterobase database

Previous projects, for which funding has finished but where I continue to provide support include:

• Development of LiBiNorm with Dr Daniel Hebenstreit within Life Sciences
• Systems medicine of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (Sysmed IBD) (EU contract 305564)
• Analysis of the mechanism for coupled transition in cellular virus mRNAs, with Professor Andrew Easton and Phillip Gould.
• Unr – master regulator of mRNA translation, with Dr Emma Anderson.
• Early pregnancy loss with Professor Jan Brosens
