Will Brackenbury is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences at the University of York. Following a PhD in Cell Physiology at Imperial College London, and a postdoc in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan, he started his research group at York in 2011 as a Medical Research Council Fellow.
