Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) Marine Microbial Chemical Biology
Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Science
University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK
Kate has spent her career to date understanding marine microbial chemistry, why it is produced and what we can use it for. There's still so much to discover!
Kate is an advocate for inclusivity, diversity, fair representation and equal opportunity in academia. She believes education should be for all.
These aspects are combined in the Duncan lab - please get in touch if you'd like to be involved.
