Research Overview
- Pedagogic research: Blended master’s course design and evaluation of factors that enhance the blended learning experience of a diverse group of health professionals in an anatomical context(accepted for conference journal publication)
- Student's perception and experience of a new knowledge-swap method of teaching and learning in medical education. An adaptation of a Swedish method to increase learning efficiency and without increasing the student workload (Accepted for conference journal publication)
- Does anatomy dissection-based courses enhance learning efficiency and student performance in anatomy?
- Human Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and cartilage repair in Osteoarthritis. Particularly interested to identify biomarker predictive of cartilage forming potency using genomic and proteomic approaches. (project completed, manucsript in prep)
