Associate Professor of Medical Laboratory Science, Rush University Nicholas Moore, PhD, D(ABMM), MLS(ASCP)CM, is a clinical microbiologist and a certified medical laboratory scientist. He received his master’s degree from and has completed his doctoral degree at Rush. His doctoral research studies have focused on the epidemiology of carbapenemases in post-acute care facilities in the Chicago metropolitan region. He is a member of the Chicago Prevention and Intervention Epicenter (C-PIE), in collaboration with the Cook County Health & Hospital System and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. C-PIE focuses on understanding the role of the gastrointestinal microbiome in the acquisition of antimicrobial resistant organisms. Moore’s long-term research goals are to remain part of an interdisciplinary research team examining changes and testing interventions to prevent the acquisition of multidrug resistant organisms. His primary teaching responsibilities in the Department of Medical Laboratory Science include serving as the course director of the clinical microbiology course and clinical rotations.
Teaching Fellow in Department of English Studies, Durham University I am a scholar of medieval romance and the history of ideas with a particular interest in embodiment. I've written on the medical humanities regarding women's health, on the transformation of the body, and on medieval swans. Ive had some small success working collaboratively with scientists, resulting in my being interviewed on Times Radio by John Pienaar, and featured in The Guardian, The Times, Science Magazine, and beyond. My current research looks at medieval ideas of causality for abnormal birth. I hold degrees from UNC (BA), Edinbugh (MSc), and Durham (PhD).
Honorary Professor of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia I am a Leventis Fellow in conservation biology with BirdLife International, where I have previously worked as the Director of Science, Director of Development, Chairman of the ICBP Bustard Group and the compiler of the International Bird Red Data Book.

Chercheur en Toxicologie, Inrae Après une thèse en sciences des aliments, option toxicologie de l’Université de Bourgogne, j’ai passé trois ans à l’Université Tufts à Boston (USA) pour étudier les effets néfastes du bisphénol A après une exposition périnatale à (très) faibles doses sur les paramètres de fertilité, développement et fonctionnement de la glande mammaire. De retour en France, j’ai fait un second post-doc dans l’unité Inra «Xénobiotiques» puis «Toxalim» pour mettre en place des approches globales de métabolomique pour l’étude des effets à faibles concentrations de perturbateurs endocriniens sur le métabolisme. J’ai ensuite été recruté en 2011 dans cette unité Inrae pour m’intéresser au rôle de la bioactivation métabolique dans les mécanismes d’action toxique des contaminants alimentaires et environnementaux de type perturbateur endocrinien.
