​The venture into the research arena has always caught my imagination and highly intrigued me. I have dedicated many years in pursuing further education in the versatile aspects of pharmaceutical technology and then undertaking many challenging posts; research fellowships in the UK and Republic of Ireland and many academic roles. This has emphatically given me the insight and equipped me with the essential tools to play an effective role independently or in team work; initiating ideas, designing research projects and carrying out fine and high quality research.​
