I am currently completing my PhD in the fields of molecular biology, cancer biology and pharmacology. I expect to submit my thesis in around 2 months (June 2010).

My current project involves the investigation of the mechanism of action of the observed chemopreventive effects of an experimental chemopreventive agent against skin cancer. This involves characterisation of the anti-proliferative activity, profiling gene expression changes, and examining cell signalling alterations in response to the compound. Additionally I have established a research collaboration to incorporate in silico techniques to investigate drug mechanisms of action, leading to development of advanced screening methodologies using computational technology.

I also have qualifications in research commercialisation, including knowledge transfer for commercialisation, entrepreneurism and project management. Additionally I have experience in public engagement and science communication.

I am seeking a postdoctoral research position in Europe (incl. UK) or North America in the fields of cancer chemoprevention, and/or molecular biology.

Please PM me for a CV.
