Overview
Reader in Cardiovascular Sciences
Research: My role as a Reader in Cardiovascular Sciences is multi-faceted; principally I carry out research into the molecular basis of left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure using a combination of transgenesis and gene knockout technologies, molecular biology and analysis of cardiac physiology. Much of this research is carried out in collaboration with a number of post-graduate students under my supervision and is funded by grants from British Heart Foundation and MRC.
British Heart Foundation 4 year PhD programme: I am the Programme Director of the British Heart Foundation 4 year PhD programme at the University of Manchester. In the first year of the 4 year BHF PhD programme the students undertake an MRes in Cardiovascular Sciences. This introduces students to a combination of taught and mini project research options designed to develop theoretical knowledge and practical training in a broad range of research methodologies, disciplines and subject areas, before undertaking a full PhD project.

Teaching: I also enjoy teaching undergraduate students. I am the module lead for cardiorespiratory fitness teaching for Year 1 MBChB Medicine students as well as a PBL and PEP tutor; I am also supervisor for 3rd year APEP projects.
I would be very happy to hear from potential students with an interest in pursuing an academic career studying the molecular basis of left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure.
