Claire Eyers promoted to Professor.
The news has just come through that Claire Eyers (nee Haydon), a Ph.D. student in Philip Cohen's lab in the MRC-PPU from 1998-2002, has been promoted to a Professorship in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Liverpool.
Following the award of her Ph.D. in 2002, Claire received a Fellowship from the American Heart Foundation to work with Natalie Ahn at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA, where she studied combinatorial signaling between MAP kinase pathways using phospho-proteomic technologies. She returned to the UK in 2004 to become a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester working in Simon Gaskell's laboratory. In 2007, Claire was awarded an independent Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellowship from the Royal Society and in 2009 she was made the Acting Director of the Michael Barber Centre for Mass Spectrometry at the University of Manchester. She was appointed Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer in 2012, and in 2013 moved to the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Liverpool where she was promoted to a Readership. Claire's meteoric promotion through the UK University system is all the more remarkable because she took three separate six month periods of maternity leave between 2005 and 2009 following the birth of her three children Sam (8), Evie (7) and George (5).
Claire is married to Pat Eyers, also a Ph.D. student in Philip's lab from 1996-2000. Pat is currently a Reader in Biochemistry at the University of Liverpool.
