Smith&Nephew Research Centre (S&N RC), York
Year-in-industry placement within RC of major multinational medical products manufacturer.

Microfluidic analytical techniques in biology and biochemistry; particularly high throughput methods.

High order regulation of gene expression through promoter and regulatory module interactions.

Design and implementation of information pipelines for rapid analysis of experimental data.
Year-in-Industry: Developed a body of evidence to support the efficacy of a proposed improvement to an existing product, including primary tissue cult/ure, protein arrays, biochemical assays and literature reviews.
Final Year Project: Cloning and expression of Metal Transport Protein (MTP) chimeras. Work indicated contribution of previously disregarded subdomains of MTP proteins to metal ion selectivity.
MOAC miniprojects: 3 x 2 month placements in (Systems Biology, Electrochemistry and Neurosciences).
Ph.D.: Primary research findings: Created library of regulatory module mutants by two step LCR process using oligonucleotides optimised by a Matlab program written by myself; Cloned mutants into promoter-containing plasmid and assessed effect of mutants on expression of GFP by flow cytometry; Designed and made PDMS microfluidic chip (water-in-oil droplets) for high throughput generation of LCR substrate mixtures.
