STAFF & POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS
Click on the photos to find out more about us. I am happy to receive enquires about postgraduate research projects in my group; however I am currently only taking PhD students through Warwick's doctoral training programmes (Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership, DTP in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research).
