I have taught Biochemistry and Immunology since 1998 and my students are 2nd year students enrolled in Laboratory Medicine, Biomedical Science, Nutrition and Food Science and Pharmaceutical Science. My teaching approach is based on the scientific method, where I identify issues, develop an approach, evaluate its impact on student learning and then disseminate the results.My research focusses on interactive simulations in teaching practical and lecture-based concepts, using free programs and more recently with AI coded applications. All my simulations have significantly improved student performance, with a modest time investment (15-30 min). These simulations have been adopted by local, national and international colleagues. The impact of my teaching has been recognised with multiple local, national and international teaching awards. I am keen to explore and develop collaborations with like-minded teaching academics.
