Teaching experience

Linda has been teaching a number of subjects at both the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University for the past five years, including cell biology, biochemistry and physiology. She is now module leader for Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, and Physiology of Organ Systems and also contributes teaching to a number of other modules.

Research interests

G-protein coupled receptors - transcription, movement through the endomembrane system and action at the cell membrane, using the melanocortin 1 receptor as a model of function.

Metabolic changes in ischaemic heart disease and diabetes.
