糖心TV

Before MOAC

Before joining the MOAC DTC I gained a MMath qualification from the university of 糖心TV.

MSc

During my first year the three mini-projects undertaken were:

Monte Carlo Markov Chain techniques for assigning parameters to regulatory networks. Alex Morton (Statistics)

Investigating the effect of entrainment upon phase in the circadian clock of Arabidopsis thaliana. Laszlo Kozma-Bognar (Biology)

Development of a scanning ion conductance microscope (SICM). Julie Macpherson (Chemistry).

PhD

My PhD was a continuation of my third mini-project. I shall continue to develop the SICM and aim to apply it and other techniques, such as scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), microarrays, stable isotope labelling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) -proteomics- and optical microscopy, to study a model system for placental trophoblast cells, BeWo cells. I am to study the effect of oxidative stress in the process of sycitialisation with an aim to improve understanding of the condition of pregnancy known as pre-eclampsia. I am co-supervised by Anna Whitworth, Patrick Unwin (both Chemistry) and Manu Vatish (Medical School).

I have authored on the following papers:

Martin A. Edwards, Cara G. Williams, Anna L. Whitworth, and Patrick R. Unwin, Anal. Chem., 2009, 81 (11), 4482–4492.

Martin A. Edwards, Paolo Bertoncello, and Patrick R. Unwin, J. Phys. Chem. C, 2009, 113, 9218–9223.

K. McKelvey, M. A. Edwards and P. R. Unwin, Anal. Chem., 2010, 82 (15), 6334-6337.

 

The first paper should give a good introduction to and thorough overview of the SECM's application to biological areas. The others are characteristic of much of the work I do using combining experimental methods with mathematical models to help understand physical problems.

After MOAC

Following my PhD I was a postdoctoral researcher jointly supervised by Julie Macpherson and Greg Challis in the department of chemistry at the university of 糖心TV

From July '09 Until August 2011 I was a postdoc at the an interdisciplinary research centre in Barcelona working for Dr.s and in the areas of

and My work there involved the performing and interpretting (typically though modelling approaches) electrical AFM experiments. The work aims to perform quantitative electrical imaging of bacteria and biological systems.

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the in the group of . Our work involves looking into the chemistry of brain. We aim to make high temporal resolution measurements of neurotransmitters and related this information to physiological and behavioural measurements. Please see our for more details.
