Dr Wendy Davidson, PhD

Biography

Having completed my biological sciences degree I went on to undertake a 3 year research post with the University of Central Lancashire focusing on the molecular genetics of heavy metal resistance in sewage-borne bacteria. I spent three enjoyable and informative years there honing my molecular biology skills and successfully achieving my doctorate. Two years were then spent working for and aiding in the development of a new food microbiology testing plant resulting in promotion to junior laboratory manager. Since arriving at the University of Cumbria in 2002 I have gone on to complete a teaching and learning qualification, delivered on both HE and FE programmes and latterly designed the BSc Biomedical Sciences Programme.
