Dr Elizabeth Davenport

Role at the BMTO

I have a prominent role in the pre-honours years with course organising and teaching responsibilities on the core Biomedical Sciences courses (BMS1, MB1 and BMS2). These courses aim to provide a solid foundational knowledge and key practical skills in the disciplines of biomedical sciences. Furthermore, I contribute to neuroscience teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level, supervise honours student projects and I am involved with the core components of the Medical Sciences honours programme.

I have been a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy UK since 2021.

Research Interests

I trained in molecular and cellular neuroscience, and I maintain a research interest in understanding how the synapse functions in health and neurodevelopmental disorders.

I am also keenly interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning, specifically in ways in which we can improve student engagement in large pre-honours courses. Additionally, I explore novel ways to embed core scientific skills and experimental design into large undergraduate practicals.
