Expert in the clinical characterization of genetically altered mice. Extensive experience establishing, troubleshooting, scaling up, and running at large scale and high throughput, a wide range of in vivo and ex vivo phenotypic platforms in the successful delivery of complex, multidisciplinary projects.
My early research interests in hereditary neurodegenerative disease led me to develop a specialty in the generation and characterization of genetically-engineered mouse models. Over the last 15 years I have applied my expertise to a variety of core phenotyping operations, with a results-oriented philosophy which has driven forward and supported the dissemination of research data.
