After receiving my degree in Medical Laboratory Science from University of Ulster in 1989, I completed my PhD in Tumour Immunology at the Institute of Cancer Research/University of London in 1993. Subsequently, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Cancer Research/University of London (1993-1999) and was appointed to a Clinical Lectureship in Pharmaco-Immunology/Tumour Immunology at the European Institute of Health and Medical Sciences/Postgraduate Medical School at the University of Surrey (1999-2007). I moved to the School of Life Sciences at Kingston University as Senior Lecturer in 2001, and became Reader in 2007. In 2012, I was promoted to Professor of Cancer Biology. I currently teach on a range of undergraduate and postgraduate bioscience programmes with particular focus on cancer related subjects and lead an active research group. In my laboratory, we particularly focus on cancer biology, therapeutics and diagnostics.
