Post Doctoral Research Associate

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, specialising in drug resistance and diagnostic development for parasitic worms. My research uses advanced genomic and transcriptomic approaches to address key challenges in parasitology and improve disease control.

Dr Mona Suleiman is a postdoctoral fellow at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, specialising in anthelmintic drug resistance and the development of diagnostic tools for parasitic helminths. Her research focuses on using experimental evolution models to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying drug resistance in the nematode Strongyloides and identifying selection pressures in populations undergoing mass drug administration. Additionally, Mona is advancing molecular barcoding techniques to develop a high-throughput sequencing assay for human-infective helminths, which will enable more accurate diagnostics in resource-limited settings. Mona completed her PhD at the University of Bath, where she explored the role of small RNAs in parasitism, contributing to a deeper understanding of host-parasite interactions. Her research has been recognised with numerous awards, including the William C. Campbell Award from the Irish Society for Parasitology and multiple Best Oral Presentation prizes from the British Society for Parasitology and ISP.

Beyond research, Mona has extensive experience in global health collaborations, working with researchers in Kenya, Ghana, and Bangladesh to enhance diagnostic capabilities for parasitic infections.

Post Doctoral Research Associate

Dr James Sunderland

Post Doctoral Research Associate

My research focuses on the history of Israel-Palestine, particularly on the pre-state period of British rule between 1918-1948. I also have an interest in how events in the Middle East impact communities in the UK, and how issues 'over there' effect us here and how these issues are played out.

James completed his DPhil in history at Merton College, University of Oxford, and his undergraduate and master's degrees in Near and Middle Eastern Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. His doctoral thesis focussed on (often violent) interactions between the Jewish Yishuv (community) and the British during the period of the British Mandate for Palestine (1917-1948). He also examined continued interactions between the Yishuv and Palestinian Arab community during the latter stages of the Mandate when clear Nationalist camps were crystalising and interaction became more difficult.

James has also previously engaged in teaching for the University of Oxford and for the University of Georgia on a range of topics including Modern Middle Eastern history and politics, the Israel-Palestine conflict, religion, society and politics in Victorian England, and IR approaches to terrorism and insurgencies. He also lectured at Brunel University in 2023, delivering classes on the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Dr Mandy Swann

Friend of St Edmund's
University Lecturer, Faculty of Education

Mandy Swann has been a University Lecturer since 2005 working in teacher education and research into teaching and learning. She was previously a primary school teacher. Her teaching and research concerns issues of anti-determinist pedagogy, professional learning, informal learning, parental involvement in education and ethnographic research. Mandy leads the faculty’s research into Learning without Limits which has focused on working with teachers to develop alternative approaches to teaching and learning that do not rely on determinist beliefs about ability. The project is inspired by decades of research that have drawn attention to the many complex ways in which ideas of fixed ability, and the practices based on them, can unintentionally limit learning. We have developed the concept of ‘transformability’ where all children (not just some) can become more powerful, committed, successful learners given conducive conditions and opportunities for learning.  Our most recent published work, Creating Learning without Limits, has just been translated into its third language. Mandy has helped to establish the Learning without Limits Network which brings together early years, primary and secondary teachers, head teachers and researchers who are interested in exploring the core Learning without Limits theoretical ideas and principles in practice. Mandy has served on a number of editorial boards, including the best-selling textbook Reflective Teaching, the Journal FORUM, and Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination, a charity which she co-founded in mid-2000 and worked with artists to develop arts-based approaches to re-engage disaffected learners, working with teachers, children, families and local communities. Mandy lives in Cambridge with her husband Robert and their two children.
