I graduated in Chemistry from the University of Birmingham in 1967. Over the following three years, I completed a Ph.D. concerned with the structural and biological studies on the glycans in human follicle-stimulating hormone, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham and the Birmingham and Midland Hospital for Women. After two years teaching chemistry at Bunda College of Agriculture at the University of Malawi, East Africa, I returned to the University of Birmingham as a Faculty Research Fellow to continue my work on the glycoprotein hormones and to start some enzyme technology research. My interest in these research areas continued within a lecturing position at the Biochemistry Department of  the University of Leeds and during a four-year seconded post at the University of Ghana, West Africa. Since 1985 I have been at London South Bank University, where I am currently an Emeritus Professor and Visiting Professor of Applied Science. I have successfully mentored 25 Ph.D. students. My current interests lie mainly with aqueous systems, particularly with interactions between biomaterials in water. I have experience as an expert witness in Patent litigation.
