معرفی
Dr. Ian Hurley is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Health at Leeds Beckett University, where he has taught since September 2008 after previously working at the University of Chester. He serves as Course Leader for the Biomedical Sciences Undergraduate programme and teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate Biomedical Sciences courses, specializing in molecular biology, microbiology, and research investigations.
Educational background includes:
- BSc (Hons)
- MSc
- PhD from the University of Liverpool
His research centers on developing biomolecular speciation assays using immunological and DNA-based methods to detect species of origin in organic samples. These techniques have critical applications in forensic science—verifying human blood at crime scenes—and food safety—identifying fraudulent adulteration in food and drink. This work bridges laboratory innovation with real-world problem-solving in forensic and regulatory contexts.
Dr. Hurley has presented findings at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals, while supervising student research projects across Biomedical Sciences programmes.
