Cressida Bowyer

My first career was in music, as a member of KLF Communications. After a few years of child-raising, I completed a degree in Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Brighton, followed by a PhD investigating biomolecular pathways in cancer cells. I worked as a Research Fellow at UoB on a number of biomaterials research projects. 
I joined the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries Enterprise and Innovation team at the University of Portsmouth in 2017 and in 2020 I started working as part of the Revolution Plastics team. I lead a number of international cross-faculty research projects, and am especially interested in using creative methods for community-based participatory research. I strongly believe that transdisciplinary research and an open mind are essential for radical innovation.
