My research concentrates on protein structure and function, mainly by means of NMR, and is described in more detail below. I also teach NMR and protein structure, signalling, membranes and molecular motors, as well as numerical and statistical methods. I was a reviewer for the HEFCE QAA Molecular Biosciences reviews in 1998-2000, and coincidentally led the MBB submission, in which we got 24/24. I also headed up the departmental Independent Evaluation of Teaching in 2008, which was also highly complimentary of our teaching. I have been involved in a number of University committees, mostly on admissions, finance and personnel. I was (2009-2011) Chair of the UK NMR discussion group; also (2009-2012) Chair of the Biochemical Society theme panel II (Molecular structure and function); (2009-2013) a member of BBSRC Committee D (Molecules, Cells and Industrial Biotechnology); (2005-2009) secretary of Euromar; and (2018-) a member of Council of the International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems (ICMRBS).
