I joined Imperial at the end of 2006, following a post-doc at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.<\/p>\n

I am a Senior Lecturer in Immunology. Around half of my time is spent leading the MSc in Immunology, which means organising, teaching and looking after our students. In the other half of my time, I am the Academic Lead for Postgraduate Education in the Faculty of Medicine.<\/p>\n

In this role, I aim to develop the Faculty\u2019s education portfolio and work with the programme teams to maintain and improve the quality of our education. Recently, we have actively engaged with Imperial\u2019s new Learning and Teaching strategy and are in the process of finishing the Curriculum Review of our postgraduate programmes, which has been a rather intense but rewarding process! This will lead to exciting changes in the way we teach \u2013 more specifically we\u2019ll be progressively introducing more interactive sessions with our students.<\/p>\n

I believe that the best learning environment is one where we all \u2013 both students and staff \u2013 have fun, enjoy what we do, and convey our passion; a place where we are challenged, but feel safe to take risks and make mistakes, and where we interact in a trusting, fair and transparent way.<\/p>\n
