He co-founded Magnitude Biosciences, which provides research services in C. elegans to companies across the world. A BSRA Trustee from 2014-2019, he took

James is a Senior Lecturer in the Medical School at Swansea University. His research focuses on the biological mechanisms of ageing and uses the African Turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) as a model of organismal ageing. His laboratory is characterising the natural neurodegeneration found in killifish as a model for understanding how neurodegenerative diseases occur in
