Training consultant: Zoe Betteridge

Zoë obtained her PhD from the University of Bath in collaboration with the Department of Health (Porton Down). Her PhD thesis concentrated on the optimisation of toxin production for the manufacture of vaccines. This work provided insight into large scale drug production, quality control methodologies and medical standards.

 

 Zoë then spent over 10 years working as a post-doctoral researcher and research fellow as part of the Centre for Therapeutic Innovation at the University of Bath. Her research focused on the identification of novel autoantibodies as clinical biomarkers with the project leading to the development and validation of a range of diagnostic assays.

 

The project also required complex analysis of a large international dataset for the development of a biomarker algorithms that are currently in use to determine responses to treatment and disease prognosis. Her research resulted in over 40 international publications, as well as the formation of an accredited diagnostics service supplying specialist testing in the autoimmune field.
