Ning Zhu
BSc, MSc
Lab Manager (Neural Injury Group)
I’m a lab manager working for Professor David Bennett and also supporting Ranaldi's, Schmid's, Davies's and Dawes's groups. I’m responsible for liaising with administration within the department, home office administration of Oxford University and other aligned research groups. I provide support in administration in Bennett’s lab, like general lab management, oversight of equipment, health and safety in the laboratory, grant management, and project licence management. I also provide research support in projects running in Bennett’s lab and advice and guidance to both research students and junior post-doctoral scientists.
