Biography

I am currently the Leader of Research Information Management within the Research and Innovation Office (RIO). This involves supporting our research management system and research data management for the University. Previously I was a Research and Innovation Manager within RIO supporting research and innovation funding proposal development.

Before joining Edinburgh Napier, I worked in the Research Office at Edinburgh University. Prior to working in research administration and management I was a postdoctoral researcher for 8 years at Universities including Edinburgh University, Jagellonian University and the University of Hertfordshire. My research areas covered cell signalling interactions and pathways in disease pathology.
