Dave joined the Geeves group in the School of Biosciences as a postdoctoral research associate in 1999. After obtaining his undergraduate degree from Leeds University and a spell working on rheumatoid arthritis at the University of Leicester he undertook an MSc in Biomolecular Technology at the National Centre for Macromolecular Hydrodynamics before his PhD in the School of Pharmacy, De Montfort University (in collaboration with SmithKline Beecham). In the lab, Dave is primarily responsible for the pressure jump apparatus which he has used to study the transient kinetics of Myosin/nucleotide interactions, protein folding, YFP photochemistry and Troponin/Calcium interactions. Within the department he runs lunchtime meetings for postdocs and is the postdoctoral representative on the School of Biosciences Health and Safety committee.
