As of November 2020, I have retired, and enjoy Emeritus Professor status. My main areas of research are in the areas of protein chemistry, proteomics, proteolysis, and proteolytic enzymes, with emphasis on proteome quantification and the understanding protein dynamics on a global, proteome wide scale and of developing relevant methods in intact animals and complex systems. I was the ‘reporting PI’ for the CoPY project. I am Chair of BBSRC Bioscience Skills and Careers Strategy Panel and member of Council of the Biochemical Society. From April 2012 to March 2015 I was a Royal Society Industrial Fellow, working with Waters.
