Dr Alison Caswell
Head of Subject
School of Clinical & Applied Sciences
0113 81 24901 A.Caswell@leedsbeckett.ac.ukAbout Dr Alison Caswell
Dr Alison Caswell is a Principal Lecturer with a background in biochemistry. Alison's teaching involves the application of biochemistry to areas such as nutrition. She leads the Safety and Environmental Health Team.
Alison's role is primarily a combination of teaching and management activities. Her teaching interests have become quite diverse over the last few years although all tend to involve a measure of biochemistry, e.g. in relation to disease processes or the role of nutrition in the prevention of disease. She has also developed an interest in epidemiology, especially its application to the study of nutrition, and how this information complements evidence from laboratory studies.
She manages the Public Health Safety and Environment Team whose work includes undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Environmental Health, Health and Safety and Acoustics. There is also significant CPD and consultancy activity in the acoustics area and the team are looking to develop CPD and consultancy in other areas such as Health and Safety and Food Safety.
Furthermore she has been involved in various health and safety roles throughout her working life, and has been the Faculty coordinator since 2004 and chairs the Faculty Safety Health and Wellbeing Advisory Group.
