About Me

Pharmacology (and dog) enthusiast!
Broad range of experience in pharmacology from undergraduate lab based modules, to post-doctoral clinical research. Presented research both nationally and internationally as oral and poster presentations; published manuscripts in various pharmacology journals.
Medical doctor, with experience in intensive care and anaesthetics.
I live in south wales, with my partner and my dog Mylo. I enjoy taking Mylo on long walk and training (/pampering) him. I enjoy running and like yoga. I am a keen gardener and enjoy spending time attending to my indoor jungle and outdoor rain forest.
