As a Professor of Chemistry at King's College London and Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute, following nine years at Oxford University where I was also a Royal Society University Research Fellow, I bring over 20 years of experience at the intersection of biophysics, chemistry, and nanotechnology. My research has pioneered novel approaches in membrane biophysics and single-molecule detection, leading to fundamental breakthroughs in nanopore sensing technology. I have developed four patented innovations in this field, with three successfully licensed to industry partners, including methods that enable five-order magnitude improvements in DNA sequencing throughput.
My expertise spans single-molecule microscopy, membrane protein biophysics, microfluidics, and the development of artificial cell membrane systems. I've developed particular specialization in membrane protein function, interferometric scattering microscopy, and optical single-channel recording, contributing to over 70 peer-reviewed publications. This work has been recognized with multiple honors including election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the RSC Norman Heatley Award.
As a regular reviewer for leading journals including Science and Nature, I maintain active engagement with cutting-edge developments across biophysics and nanotechnology. I've held appointments at Oxford, Stanford, and Cambridge universities, building a broad international network in academia and industry. My experience includes serving as an invited nominator for the Chemistry Nobel Committee, consulting for biotechnology companies, and maintaining successful research collaborations with leading biotech partners.
My technical knowledge spans patent disputes, particularly those involving biophysics and nanopore sensing technologies, complemented by extensive experience in technology commercialization and independent technical review.
