Hello all. My name is Jonathan Street.
This site is a quick little attempt to pull together a fragmented online identity. There are a multitude of ways to connect with me online and from this website I hope you'll be able to reach many of them.
My social network of choice at the moment is facebook though I also have a LinkedIn account if that is your thing. Want to see what I like online? There is del.icio.us and stumbleupon.
If you want to get in direct contact then you can email jonathan at this domain or you can call me.
Biological/Medical Sciences
In 2006 I completed a BSc in Biochemistry at The University of York. In 2007 I completed a MSc in Cardiovascular Science at The University of Edinburgh. I'm still in Edinburgh and I'm now working on my PhD.
My interest is in sepsis. Specifically acute kidney injury as a consequence of sepsis.
I'm currently examining exosomes, small membrane bound vesicles released by the kidney cells, as a source of information on the health of the kidney cells. The work is in the early stages but is potentially very interesting.
Programming / Website design
In my spare time I enjoy working on a variety of web related topics. I write about some of what I do at Torrential Web Dev.
My work on scripts enabling contacts to be imported from third party services have been popular recently. This is a fast moving area and at times I feel like the Red Queen.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm enjoying working with emerging technologies and I'm pleased to see so much progress in the 'right' directions.
