Biography
I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2020 with an Integrated Masters in Biological Sciences. During the final year of my MSci, I was involved in a research project at the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, whereby we used cryo-electron microscopy to capture the early stages of viral entry.
Keen to explore alternative research avenues I applied for the 1+3 MRC DTP Programme at KCL as it provided a wide range of project topics enabling me to gain experience in multiple research areas and make an informed decision as to where to do my PhD.
I chose to come back to the Neil lab and am currently investigating the effect of rapamycin on SARS-CoV-2.
