Profile

I did my undergraduate at the University of Sheffield obtaining a BSc in Biochemistry and Microbiology graduating in 2021. My PhD was based on characterising the function and structure of a C. difficile bacteriophage using Cryo-EM which was supervised by Prof. Per Bullough and Dr Rob Fagan (2021-2025). My current post-doc project with Sheena Radford and Neil Ranson is focusing on characterising the structure and function amyloid fibril catalysis using Cryo-EM and enzymatic assays.
