Dr Chris Foster undertook his undergraduate course at Manchester Metropolitan University in Chemistry with management and has just recently been awarded his PHD which was upon the assembly and Modification of Screen-Printed Electrodes, within the Craig Banks Research Group. His area of expertise considers the fabrication, characterisation and electroanalytical application of such sensors. Over the duration of his PhD he has co-authored over 10 peer reviewed journals articles.

Dr Kadara is an electro-analytical chemist by training. He has been with Oxtox Ltd since 2007 as a Senior Scientist initially and later as a Principal Scientist in charge of production development. His area of expertise are screen printing technology, electrode design and fabrication, material selection and ink formulation, production operation management, measurement science and the development of sensors (chemical and bio-sensors) for environmental and biological samples. He is also a Visiting Research Fellow at Manchester Metropolitan University where he collaborates with Professor Craig Banks on the application of various printing technologies.Prior to joining Oxtox Ltd, he was a Researcher at University of Bedfordshire where he worked on a DEFRA LINK project to do with research, development and testing of sensor/measurement devices along with associated sampling and also carrying out other industry funded research. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed papers, edited 2 books and is an inventor of 1 patent.
