After doing my Biochemistry degree at Salford, I completed my Ph.D. at Leicester University, funded by the Cancer Research campaign, it was to study the effects of sulfur-based anti-cancer drugs on the mutagenesis of DNA when subjected to ionising radiation.

I did a post-doc at the Paterson Institute, Christie Hospital on the reaction kinetics of anti-cancer agents.

I joined Bruker as an applications scientist and stayed with them for nearly 25 years finishing as a head of Sales and marketing of the NMR product lines.

For the past few years, I have consulted on a variety of high-tech start-up companies.

I wanted to offer something back in aiding the growth of charitable enterprises and Kidscan looked to be ideal, based in Salford and seeking to grow. I look forward to continuing to aid the success of Kidscan.
