Role
Dr Samuel J White joined the faculty at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in 2019 as a Senior Lecturer within the department of Animal, Equine and Veterinary Sciences.
Career overview
Dr Samuel J White is a Senior Lecturer within the department of Animal, Equine and Veterinary Sciences at Nottingham Trent University. His research is wide-ranging covering applied immunology and genetics with a one health approach to identifying biomarkers, protein allergenicity, multi-omics and novel diagnostic/therapeutic approaches.
Prior to joining NTU, Dr White ran his own laboratory and consultancy company, was an Associate Researcher at the University of Nottingham, worked as a UKAS Assessor and Quality Manager for a government Laboratory. Samuel holds a BSc (Hons) from University of the West of England, an MSc from the Royal Agricultural University, and a PhD in Applied Immunology from the University of Gloucestershire.
Research areas
Dr White’s research spans a wide range of different clinical conditions, allergies and inflammatory diseases, but the overarching theme is the novel development of diagnostics, and advancing treatments. Ongoing/current research interests include:
- Multi-omics
- Microbial identification through next generation sequencing
- Whole genome sequencing (including variant identification)
- Microbiome profiling
- Protein expression
- Protein allergenicity
- Microarray development
- Lateral flow assay development
- Immunoglobulin isotype profiling
- Allergen-specific immunotherapy
