He assists the consortium partners to undertake a variety of knowledge transfer activities within the thematic areas and works with them, helping to identify and progress new opportunities.

Prior to this he was the commercial manager for the Centre for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield, where he was responsible for securing external funding and the management of major facilities development projects.
Julian has a background in research and has a PhD in molecular biology. He has worked as a lecturer at the University of Sheffield and has operated at the academic-private sector interface for a number of years in relation to both his own research involvement and during subsequent periods spent in technology transfer roles.
