Dr Martin Ashby

Laboratory Technician

Martin Ashby completed his PhD at St. Georges University, London, in 2017. The title of his thesis was “The development of computer-designed and naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides to target methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using SPOT peptide synthesis”. During his studies he developed skills in various microbiology and peptide chemistry techniques.

In January 2018, Martin began working as a laboratory technician in the Non-Vesicular disease Reference Laboratory. Operating under ISO 17025 his work includes the use of PCR and ELISA diagnostic assays for bluetongue virus (BTV) and African horse sickness virus (AHSV), among others.
