BSc in Forensic Chemistry, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2007

After graduating Graeme had a short spell at GlaxoSmithKline before starting as a bioanalytical scientist at ICON development solutions where he used HPLC and LC-MS/MS to analyse small molecules from a range of different samples. After spending 9 months at ICON he then moved back home to work at Sellafield Ltd in the analytical department analysing environmental and product samples using primarily ICP-OES and XRF.

Graeme joined the Gardner group in November 2010 as an PhD student looking at stem cell differentiation when introduced to some natural and synthetic retinoids using infrared-micro spectroscopy.
