Biography
Following my PhD at the University of Portsmouth in helminth parasitology (studies in collaboration with The National Institute for Medical Research, Mill Hill, London) I had a switch in fields to skeletal biology in 1996 when I joined the Bone Research Group, University of Cambridge. Initially I worked as a laboratory technician specialising in hard tissue histology with my main areas of activity relating to osteoporotic hip fracture. I was promoted to Post-doctoral Research Associate in 2000, remaining in the group till 2011. Later I joined the Orthopaedic Research Unit, University of Cambridge working on ovine models of joint repair before becoming a lecturer at the University of Chester at the end of 2012.
