Title: Dr. Job Title: MRC Public Engagement Officer / Research Associate Tel: 029 2087 0488 Fax: Email: LewisJT1@cardiff.ac.uk Building: 10 Museum Place Room Number: 1.02
Jamie is a research associate and public engagement officer for the newly funded MRC centre for the Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics (CNGG). This is a 5 year post that is strengthening the links between Cesagen and the Cardiff Medical School. His research interests include the regulation and standardisation of biomedical technologies, the construction of animal models of disease, the increasing interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to biomedical science, the role of dry lab science in genomics, and translational research. Jamie developed and examined an interest in these issues while he was an ESRC-funded PhD student (thesis: Computing Genomic Science: Bioinformatics and Standardisation in Proteomics) and during his post-doctoral CBAR-funded research position Stem Cells in Practice, both at Cesagen. These research activities have given him a strong grounding in conducting qualitative research, in particular laboratory ethnographies of biomedical settings.
