Profile
I am a final year BBSRC White Rose DTP PhD student, supervised by Mark Harris and Nicola J Stonehouse.
Research interests
My research focusses on the function of the Chikungunya virus, non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) macro domain - the N terminal domain of the highly multifunctional protein. Currently we know that nsP3 is essential for viral RNA replication, but its precise function is unknown.
