Dr Al Edwards- Principal Investigator
With a background in fundamental immunology combined with expertise in biochemical engineering, I am an interdisciplinary researcher focused on solving current and future healthcare challenges using an engineering science approach that combines a range of fields from biology, biochemistry, chemistry and physics. I work at the interface between academic technology discovery and industrial development and have experience of both fundamental research and the commercialisation of new technology.

Dr Sarah Needs – Postdoctoral Research Assistant
I studied for my PhD at The Open University researching rare disorders of glycosylation. Since starting work at the University of Reading in 2018 I have worked on developing microfluidic devices for diagnostics. My current project looks at miniaturising antimicrobial resistance testing for use in a healthcare setting.
