Qualifications Bachelor of Science (Honours) - University of Sheffield Doctor of Philosophy - University of Sheffield Postgraduate Certificate (Learning & Teaching) - Sheffield Hallam University Dr Sellers has forged a distinguished academic career combining research and teaching at leading universities and hospitals in the United Kingdom. Focussing her research interests on the physiological and pharmacological function of smooth muscle, she has collaborated with fellow research scientists to relate her findings to medical disorders such as overactive bladder function and the complications of diabetes. Complementing her research portfolio, Dr Sellers has taught undergraduate and postgraduate subjects at Sheffield Hallam University, the University of Sheffield and the University of Manchester prior to joining Bond University's Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine in 2009.
