Background

I received a PhD in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Cardiff University in 1999, then spent just over 6 years at the School of Medicine carrying out post-doctoral research into cell signaling. I moved to the Patent Office (now known as the UK Intellectual Property Office) for two years in 2006, where I was employed as an Associate Patent Examiner specialising in biotechnological and pharmaceutical inventions. In 2008 I returned to Cardiff University as Wales Gene Park project manager.
