Teaching
Structure and Dynamics of Macromolecules (LIFE203)
In this module I teach a range of structural biology techniques to study protein structure and interactions including: imaging (microscopy-based methods), thermodynamic and non-thermodynamic methods for detecting binding, secondary structure detection and solid-state NMR.
Post-Genomic Bioinformatics (LIFE708)
I am co-ordinator for this module and also teach sessions on predicting intrinsically disordered regions/proteins, aggregation-prone regions/proteins and membrane association.
The Cardiovascular System in Health and Disease (LIFE330)
In this module I teach topics closely related to my areas of research - aortic aneurysm and dissection and cardiovascular amyloid diseases.
