Curriculum Vitae

I'm qualified in both the analysis of microstructures and cellular structures of demineralised histological sections and mineral distribution in the non de-mineralised skeletal tissues. Moreover I have a training in Micro-CT reconstruction. My other key qualifications include an assessment of vertebral deformities in variety of teleost fish species and assessment of bone mineralisation on x-ray images. Additionally I'm qualified to analyse mechanical strength of vertebral and other mineralised tissues using texture analyser. Although I'm mainly an expert in mineralised tissue or more specifically phosphorus metabolism within the area of developmental and evolutionary biology increasingly I have been involved in a variety of aspect of fish nutrition such as digestibility of minerals.
