Profile

Biography

Career resume I did a BSc at Kings College (London), an MSc at Brunel University (London) and PhD (Immunology) at the Royal London Hospital (London). I worked for several years in the field of transplantation immunology at the Royal London supported by the MRC. In 1990, I was appointed as a lecturer in Immunology in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Essex. In 1999 I was promoted to Reader and in the year 2000 to Professor.Teaching I teach immunology for undergraduate and post-graduate courses in the School of Life Sciences. Over the years I have supervised over 35 PhD doctoral students. I created and I am currently the module organizer and lecturer of two core undergraduate BSc modules. The modules are: (1) Immunity in Health and Disease (BS223, essential for the accreditation of students enrolled in a Biomedical Sciences degree) and (2) Molecular and Developmental Immunology (BS326) for 3rd year BSc students. I also created the module Issues in Cell and Molecular Biology (BS304 and BS306). In 1999 I was awarded a Teaching and Learning Innovation Award by the University of the Essex. I have received prizes and nominations (from students) for teaching excellence. Wider Involvement I have been Director of the Cell Bio imaging Facility, Head of Molecular Medicine and recently Graduate Director in the School of Life Sciences. In 1996 together with Professor G. Voissin (Paris) I participated in the foundation of the European Society of Reproduction Immunology (ESRI). In September 2005 we hosted the 3rd European Congress in reproductive immunology at the University of Essex. In 2007, at the European Reproductive Congress in Germany, I was elected as member of the ESRI executive council. Key research interests: Cell-surface organization of immunoreceptors encoded by the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Single particle imaging and cell bioimaging for the study of receptor associations. Role of MHC in pregnancy development and embryonic tissues. Role of PIF in regulating MHC expression during development. The cooperation of CD14, Toll-like receptors in bacterial infection. Role of CD74, MHC and tumour progression.
