Profile
I graduated in 2021 with a Masters in Molecular Cell Biology from the University of York. I worked for a year as a research assistant in the Wade-Martins lab at the University of Oxford focussing on mitochondrial dysfunction in cellular models of Parkinson’s disease. I started my PhD in 2022 supervised by Professor David Brockwell and Professor Sheena Radford investigating the importance of the sequence of alpha-synuclein in the context of aggregation and Parkinson’s disease.
