Dr Jonathan Kyffin
Lecturer in Biology
I currently teach Cell Biology and Biochemistry at level 4 for a range of undergraduate degree courses.
At level 5 I am involved in the teaching of Biology of Animal disease, Research Methods and Microbiology for Animal Sciences. Additionally.
I give a number of toxicology lectures at level 6 for Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics and Forensic Pathology students.
I also spend time supervising students and I am involved in laboratory based dissertation projects for final year students.
