Dr Nicola Suter Giorgini

As a teaching-based Associate Professor I am involved in the teaching administration and tuteeship of undergraduate students in the School of Biological Sciences With 2.1 in Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Keele in 1994 and a PhD from the University of Leicester in 1998 I moved to the United States for a Post-doctoral position. Based at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) in Seattle I carried out population-based research into the genetics of breast cancer for several years. I then moved away from benchwork and taught degree-level biological sciences in Seattle for two years before returning in 2006 to the University of Leicester in the department of Genetics and Genome Biology. Since that time I have been involved in the development of innovative teaching materials for undergraduate students both subject and skills-based areas in all years of the undergraduate Biological Sciences degree courses. 

I am interested in looking at team-based learning and assessment the development of final year projects and the use of concept analysis in improvement of genetics teaching.
