nDash Writer Profile for Jonathon Coates

Headline

PhD Immunobiology writer

About Me

My primary interests are based around immune cell biology, particularly how immune cells are capable of performing wide ranging functions and how they adapt to different environmental cues. I am an active researcher in fields including glycosylation, meta-research and open-access. Furthermore, I hold interests in science communication, open access and career development for academics. I write highlights of research articles on preLights (https://prelights.biologists.com/profiles/coatesj/) and have recently begun to write on Medium (https://medium.com/@jonathon.a.coates). My previous research focussed on fibrosis biology and I have experience with healthcare related innovations (consultancy).

I also host, produce and write a science podcast (Preprints in Motion) and will be executive producing a new podcast. More information on my interests and links to my writing can be found at jacoates.co.uk/.
