Biography
I am the inventor of two novel analytical technologies for characterising biopharmaceutical products: virus lasers are an exciting new class of ligand-binding assay in which the biorecognition probes generate a laser signal, and decay-associated chromatography is a label-free spectroscopic technique for quantifying proteins directly in mixtures.
I am currently a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow hosted at the UCL Department of Biochemical Engineering.
Research Summary
My long-term vision is to establish virus laser technology as a once-in-a-generation analytical technology that will have a transformative impact in biological manufacturing, clinical diagnostics and environmental sensing. I am leading a research and innovation programme into virus lasers, including exploring the synthetic biology and laser physics aspects of virus lasers, and developing commercial-grade instruments and biorecognition probes.
