About Richard
My background is in Biochemistry and Biochemical Pharmacology and I am particularly interested in signalling pathways that involve pyridine nucleotides. My interests also extend to many other areas as Biochemical techniques can be used to study a huge array of processes.
I am also a Biologist with particular interests in birds, mammals (terrestrial and marine), reptiles, medicinal plants, and a number of invertebrate groups including Odonata, Isopods, Shieldbugs, Bees, Butterflies and whatever else happens to be a nice small group with a good ID book/key that not many people are interested in. I am currently interested in linking invertebrate biochemistry to ecological studies and using lab-based techniques to compliment ecological studies.
Teaching
I teach on a wide variety of modules from biochemistry, cell biology and pharmacology right up to field biology.
As a naturalist at heart, I attend a number of field courses both in the UK and abroad.
