The notion of giving some things back to science crystallised during my wonderful trip to teach at the GCRF Workshop in Mendoza, Argentina. It was the hunger, enthusiasm and delight I saw in the delegates (not to mention the wonderful venue and ancillary benifits in wine and food) that whetted my apetite to consider what may be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Giving something back” and nurturing others is a passion of mine. I might now be an overweight (late!) middle-aged Oxford graduate, thus fitting a certain demographic, but at the age of 18 I crossed my own Rubicon – coming from a rural council estate and a family with little academic pedigree, I was the first from my local former secondary modern school to secure a place at Oxford, thus increasing the diversity of an already progressive college. Wadham College\u2019s continuing leadership in expanding \u201cAccess to Excellence\u201d<\/a> is a shining light in nurturing opportunities for those from diverse backgrounds \u2013 and I am eternally grateful for my own chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a link to my Presentation<\/a> on TB target DprE1 to the RSC?SCI Med Chem meeting in Camdridge (Sept2017) – part of a live Webinar section on neglected diseaes. My talk satrts at 1h 24min.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will complement the rewarding experience of working closely with the GSK Diseases of the Develping World, The Open Lab Foundation<\/a> and the SAB of Project ORCHID<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My considerable experince in all phases of drug disocovery up to candidate selection should serve well for most stages of academic or charitable programmes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please do contact (via LinkedIn<\/a> or via this page<\/a>) if you believe I may be able to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The notion of giving some things back to science crystallised during my wonderful trip to teach at the GCRF Workshop in Mendoza, Argentina.
