As a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science, I am Module Tutor for seven modules across all years of the BSc Biomedical Science, Animal Biology and Biology undergraduate courses. My current research interests are to understand the impact of obesity on T cells in response to influenza virus infection.
Fellow of the Higher Education Academy

Sarah leads and teaches on a range of modules on undergraduate programmes delivered in Biosciences. Her main areas of teaching and module leadership include Virology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, Cell and Tissue Pathology, Research Skills and Proposal and Introduction to Biomedical Science. Sarah also leads the NHS placements and undergraduate student dissertation projects.
From 2007-2010, Sarah undertook postdoctoral training in molecular biology in the laboratory of Professor Juergen Reichardt at the Bosch Institute, University of Sydney, Australia. In 2012-2014 she worked in the laboratory of Professor Sarah George at the Bristol Heart Institute, University of Bristol where using pre-clinical models, she developed a novel adenoviral-mediated gene therapy for late vein graft failure.
She continued to work in gene therapy from 2015-2018 in Professor Alan Parker’s laboratory in the Division of Cancer and Genetics at Cardiff University where she developed novel adenoviruses retargeted to ovarian cancer cells.
In 2018, she joined Professor Andrew Godkin and Professor Awen Gallimore’s Cancer Immunology laboratory in the Division of Infection and Immunity, Cardiff University where she led a team using pre-clinical models to develop a novel vaccine strategy for influenza A virus. Her current interests are to understand the impact of obesity on T cell function in response to influenza infection and vaccination.
