I am currently in my first year of a PhD as part of the MRC Doctoral Training Partnership at Wawick Medical School, supervised by Dr Karuna Sampath. From September 2015-16 I studied for an MSc in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research in which I carried out two lab rotations with Dr Nick Waterfield and Dr Karuna Sampath.

"The regulation of Nodal translation in zebrafish embryonic progenitors and human cells"
Supervised by Dr Karuna Sampath and Dr Till Bretschneider
2015 - 2016: MSc Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research (Merit), University of Warwick
Miniproject 1: “The role of the secreted metalloprotease PrtA in adaptation to the human host in Photorhabdus asymbiotica” - Supervised by Dr Nick Waterfield
Miniproject 2: “The regulation of Nodal signalling and squint localisation in early zebrafish embyros" - Supervised by Dr Karuna Sampath
2010 - 2014: MBiolSci Biology (Upper second class), University of Sheffield
