Overview
Kat is the Expert Technical Specialist (Research Technical Professional) for the Faculty of Science & Engineering (FSE) Mass Spectrometry & Separations Facility with overall responsibility for facilities based at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) & the Department of Chemistry. The Facility supports research across FSE, the wider university and to external collaborations and customers.
Kat obtained her PhD in 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Roy Goodacre at the University of Manchester. Her PhD focused on the development of bioanalytical techniques for the study of skin diseases with an emphasis on untargeted metabolomics approaches. Following this Kat undertook further post-doctoral positions applying mass spectrometry-based metabolomics for clinical diagnosis/biomarker discovery and biotechnology applications. Subsequently, Kat joined SYNBIOCHEM as a member of the Test team where she provided untargeted mass spectrometry expertise as part of the design, build, test, learn pipeline.
Kat is co-investigator on a EPSRC funded strategic technical platform - Manchester Biomolecule Engineering Centre (MBEC). This 5 year project seeks to invest in the training and developement of the next generation of biological engineers with a heavy focus on technology intergration and skills developement. The project is led by a team of MIB-based RTPs.
Kat is an active member of the British Mass Spectrometry Society (BMSS) and is currently an elected committee member acting as Meeting Secretary.
