I am a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.

I am interested in understanding how cells decode and interpret signals from their environment to generate meaningful outputs. I mostly use neuroendocrine systems (the ones that produce hormones in your body) to study this question. I am also very interested in all that relates to data analysis.
