Career History
- Enterprise:
- University of Salford
- Position:
- Honorary Professor
- Summary:
- With Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof C Pine and Prof H Foster, academic supervisor of PhD student David Greenwood. Our aim is to determine the effect of fluoride on bacterial ecology and possible links to reductions in dental caries.
- Year:
- Sep 2010 – Present
- Enterprise:
- University of Liverpool
- Position:
- Honorary Research Fellow
- Summary:
- With Prof S Higham and Dr S Valappil, academic supervisor of PhD student Gareth Owens. Our aim is to develop physiologically-relevant models to determine the potential of dental plaque to act as a ‘reservoir’ for anti-caries agents.
- Year:
- Oct 2008 – Present
- Enterprise:
- GlaxoSmithKline
- Position:
- Principal Scientist
- Summary:
- • Design anti-caries strategies.
• Lead multi-national cross-functional teams to evaluate routes to caries reductions. Make recommendations regarding progression toward market. Team members typically educated to graduate/PhD level.
• Act as mentor to younger scientists in my group
• Strengthen scientific network through collaboration with leading academic groups globally
• Represent GSK during interactions with international dental organisations
