About Dr Simon Calaminus

I completed my PhD in Platelet Biology from 2004-2007 at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Professor Steve Watson. During this time I specialised in the platelet actin cytoskeleton and worked alongside Professor Laura Machesky to identify the actin structure, the actin nodule within platelets.

I then worked as a post doctoral scientist for Professor Laura Machesky at the Beatson Institute in Glasgow from 2007-2012. Here I worked both with megakaryocytes to identify the role of podosomes, and also with cancer cells understanding the role of the Wash complex within receptor recycling.

In 2012 I moved to the University of Hull as a lecturer, where I was promoted to senior lecturer in 2018.
