Biography:
Mathew obtained a PhD in Genetics from Cardiff University working on dosage modifications of an imprinted gene, Cdkn1c. He then moved to London to work with Dame Professor Amanda Fisher in the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS), where he also held a Junior Research Fellowship. During this time, he worked to develop novel models for studying epigenetics longitudinally, including establishing a number of transgenic mouse lines that enable non-invasive reporter imaging. Matthew is currently a Principal Toxicologist at UK Health Security Agency.
Research Interests:
Matthew is interested in Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology (DART), using in vitro models of development and the germline to assess epigenetic changes across one and two generations. He collaborates with industrial and academic partners, applying an array of molecular biology techniques to answer key mechanistic questions.
