Dr. Suzanne Ruddy

Suzanne Ruddy is a Lecturer (Teaching) at University College London in the division of Biosciences. She grew up in Northern Ireland and trained at Queen’s University Belfast, where she gained a BSc in Genetics and Microbiology and a PhD in Somatic Cell Genetics, focusing on the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation. Her research career centred on cellular and molecular aspects of gene expression in diverse fields ranging from mouse genetics to human disease and reproduction. She teaches Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to undergraduates in the department of Structural and Molecular Biology and communicates her interest in and enthusiasm for epigenetics as part of her teaching profile.

Dr. Renée Vancraenenbroeck

Renee Vancraenenbroeck is a Lecturer (Teaching) at the Department of Structural and Molecular Biology, University College London. She trained at the KU Leuven (Belgium), where she received a PhD in Biochemistry and Biotechnology. As a postdoctoral researcher, she designed a protein-based biosensor at The Francis Crick Institute (UK) and investigated an intrinsically disordered protein network at The Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel). She is module organizer for a 3rd-year Research Project in Protein Structure. She also contributes to 1st-year modules, teaching protein structure and function, protein purification and characterization, and enzyme kinetics.

Dr. Gus Cameron

Gus Cameron is a Reader in Biomedical Science Education at the School of Biochemistry, University of Bristol.  His research interests lie in the fields of structural biochemistry and enzymology, pedagogically he is best known for his work increasing authenticity in the teaching labs.  He is director of eBiolabs, an online dynamic laboratory manual developed to help students prepare students for practical work.  As the organizer of large first-year biochemistry modules he has a long-standing interest in innovative authentic assessment at scale.

Dr. Lisa Swanton

Lisa Swanton is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Manchester. After training at Imperial and University College London, she travelled North to join the University of Manchester, initially as a postdoc and then Lecturer studying protein quality control mechanisms. She is the Deputy Director of Education in the School of Biological Sciences and has a particular interest in curriculum development and finding ways to connect research with teaching. As a teacher on a molecular unit for 600+ Year 1 biosciences students, she is excited about the opportunity BioCOPP provides to share ideas, tips, and experiences with others who teach large undergraduate classes, where the challenges (and rewards) are unique.
