Dr Despo Papachristodoulou is a Reader in Biochemistry and Medical Education at Kings College London. Her interests include metabolism and nutrition, obesity, diabetes and diabetic complications, medical education and curriculum development. Dr Papachristodoulou has a long experience of teaching Biochemistry and Nutrition to Medical, Dental and Biomedical undergraduates and is lead of the Professional/Graduate Entry to Medicine programme at Kings College. Dr Alison Snape is Senior Lecturer and Head of the Teaching Department of Biochemistry at King's College London. Her interests include regulation of gene expression and differentiation in early embryonic development. Dr Snape has extensive experience of teaching biochemistry and molecular biology to undergraduates and organises modules that are taken by first year students in bioscience and nutrition programmes.
