Biochemistry for Undergraduates and Curious Adults
Do you ever wonder why you're not supposed to eat grapefruits whilst taking certain medicines? Are you an undergraduate struggling with a particular topic in your degree (or is there something you're dying to know more about)? Do you have any vaccine-hesitant relatives? Or perhaps you always thought cells were cool but never knew where to start? If so, this might be for you. Like all my classes, this is student-led: you tell me what particular area you want to learn about, and I'll teach it to you. If you just want to know more about how we function and don't know where to start, don't worry! I'll take you through basic undergraduate topics like Biological Chemistry and Cell Biology, and as your knowledge of the fundamentals grows we'll move on to more advanced topics such as Metabolism, Genomics, Biotechnology, Microbiology and Immunology, and you can direct your own learning journey. I have a first-class Biochemistry degree from Imperial College with particular strengths/academic interests in Antimicrobial Resistance, Immunology, Biotechnology and Plant Science.

Basic / Advanced Biology using exciting, easy to understand graphical methods
I have a passion for science, especially life science. After having finished my master's degree in Biotechnology and working as a molecular oncology researcher for 3 years, I now wish to share my passion for this field with budding, curious minds. In this class, based on the requirement of the student, I will focus on basic or advanced life science topics such as molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and bioanalytical techniques. If you are in school and need your basics covered, I can teach basic biology and chemistry in the simplest manner. I can understand these subjects can come off as quite dry to many students, but hopefully, my extreme enthusiasm in this field will change that for you. Hope to see you soon.

Lezioni di scienze: dalle elementalari alle scuole superiori.
I am laureate in Scienze Biologiche e Biotecnologie, Indirizzo Ambiente e Agro-Industria. For 5 years I continue to be students of different età, in diverse corsi di scienze. Chemistry, mathematics, biology and others are not secret per me. With this enthusiasm I will wait for others to stop in a very simple way. Here we learn in the preparation of those written and oral, and in the study of the various disciplines.

Bioprocessing/Biochemical Engineering/Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (Design, Operation and Scaling of Bioreactors and Unit Operations)
In bioprocessing you cannot have the cake and eat it too. Constantly, you need to make choices about which unit operation is best suited for a particular application and what are the trade offs. Because of so many factors that guide this decision, it can be daunting for starting biotech/bioprocess students to be overwhelmed. I was definitely overwhelmed in my 1st year of uni. But after 5 years studying the subject, I am here to help you to think like an engineer and make informed choices based on the context of the process and product. In my class, I will teach you the theoretical background behind bioreactors and common unit operations (e.g. filtration, centrifugation, chromatography) and how to implement them into a bioprocess. This class is best suited for university students (bachelor or master), people joining/switching industry or just people interested in how pharmaceuticals are made! If you are a university student, we can can discuss your own assignments or projects. My tutoring style is discussion-based. We will have a conversation about the subjects rather than a lecture, which will give you the tools and confidence to better synthesize the course content and present your ideas in a specific manner. I create my own materials for each class, including definitions, calculations, diagrams and past-exam questions. I use a touchscreen tablet to interactively annotate our class worksheets, draw P&IDs, structures and mechanisms, write down chemical reactions and step-by-step calculations. For any questions, please feel free to contact me!
