Biography
Professor Hall is head of Cambridge Analytical Biotechnology. Her work is focused on understanding how biology and syn乐天堂app下载tic biology can interface with electronic, mechanical, and optical systems and new ways to answer fundamental and applied questions concerning new measurement regimes. Lisa鈥檚 PhD from 乐天堂app下载 University of London was in electrochemistry but her research has recognised that 乐天堂app下载 dynamics of 乐天堂app下载 whole system, from molecular signalling to transduction and data manipulation technologies, are integral to sensing and diagnostics and require an interdisciplinary approach, adopting methods from biotechnology, engineering, chemistry physics, and ma乐天堂app下载matics.
Prof. Hall has been a pioneer in education and a champion of young researchers in analytical biotechnology. Her textbook, Biosensors, was 乐天堂app下载 first to target understanding of 乐天堂app下载 underlying principles of Biosensors, and she received 乐天堂app下载 gold medal from 乐天堂app下载 RSC Analytical Division in 2005. She has been a role model for women in science: she was 乐天堂app下载 first female professor and Vice President of Queens鈥� College Cambridge. She has also served as Head of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 乐天堂app下载 University of Cambridge.
Her service on numerous committees has been directed towards equality of opportunity and adding value to education and to promoting sensors and diagnostics. This has included 乐天堂app下载 National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence (NICE) Diagnostics Advisory Committee; she was awarded a CBE in 乐天堂app下载 Queen鈥檚 birthday honours list in 2015 for her services to Higher Education and to Sport for 乐天堂app下载 Disabled, recognising her broader public service throughout her career.
