Principal Investigator in Neuroscience & Metabolism (Cambridge University)

Profile Summary

I am a Principal Investigator at the University of Cambridge in Neuroscience and Metabolism with over a decade of experience. I have worked with companies consulting on matters including nootropic formulations, drug design, drug testing, and the writing of white papers. I also offer services in scientific writing and review of research proposals, grants, and papers in the biomedical sciences. I further advise on experimental design and data analysis. I have over a decade of experience publishing in prominent neuroscience journals including Neuron and have secured over £2.5 million in highly competitive grants and fellowships.
