| 2002 - present | Self-employed as a consultant in proteomics. Including: bibliographic work, data collation and presentation, copy editing, technical writing, presentation at technical seminars, and tutoring in bioinformatics for proteomics. In addition, design and maintenance of the British Society for Proteome Research website on a voluntary basis.
|
| 1996 - 2001 | Director of Protein Sciences and later, Director of Proteome Data Analysis, Oxford GlycoSciences (UK) Ltd, Abingdon, UK, managing a proteome data analysis service for internal and external customers, and contributing to the development of software for analysis of gel protein patterns.
|
| 1994 - 1996 | Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, UK, continuing application of 2-DE with computer image analysis to study changes in protein synthesis at the onset of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in neurons.
|
| 1992 - 1994 | Senior Postdoctoral Research Assistant, Human Anatomy, University of Oxford, UK, learnt techniques for isolation and culture of primary sympathetic neurons and designed and implemented a large format multi-gel electrophoresis tank with constant temperature control and ease of use for the 2nd dimension of 2-DE (later adopted by Oxford GlycoSciences and still in use today by Oxford Genome Sciences).
|
| 1988 - 1992 | Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Division of Protein Sciences, National Institute for Medical Research, Mill Hill, London, UK, learnt techniques for tissue culture of cell lines and radio-labelling of phosphoproteins, protein and peptide purification by FPLC and HPLC to study protein kinase C isoforms and their substrates.
|
| 1986 - 1987 | Research Scientist, Shandon Southern Products Ltd, Runcorn, UK, established and managed a small team for the development of electrophoresis protocols for isoelectric focusing, immunoelectrophoresis and native electrophoresis of proteins.
|
| 1983 - 1986 | Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Department of Chemistry, University of Birmingham, UK, learnt technique of 2-DE and improved methods for silver staining of proteins in gels. Also wrote interactive software (Fortran 77) for 2-DE gel image analysis via lab built scanner.
