Dr Nittaya Gale

Post-doctoral researcher

Nittaya carried out research her PhD in Prof. Jeremy Kilburn’s group, then moved to Southampton Polypeptides, before returning to Southampton University to take up a post-doctoral position in Dr Iris Nandakumar’s Nanotechnology research group. She joined the Brown group as a post-doctoral researcher in 2005 where she developed a new rapid method for human forensic DNA analysis which has since been patented and commercialized by LGC. Nittaya moved to ATDBio, where she continued to collaborate with Prof. Brown, and then to Macquarie University in Sydney Australia, as a post-doctoral researcher.
