Implemented and optimised the use of a plant-based cell-free system for the expression of an oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase. This system presents the only approach through which to gain functional expression of FGFR3-TACC3. As a result, we are currently working towards gaining a comprehensive and integrative understanding of a full-length structure through cryoEM.

York

Structurally and biophysically characterising proteins involved in sulfoquinovose catabolism.

London, United Kingdom

The second of two research projects during my MRes, I am currently working with Professor Kurt Drickamer. The aim of the project is to assess the conformation of part of the macrophage mannose receptor through 2-dimensional NMR.

London, United Kingdom

Working under Dr. James W. Murray, this is the first of two rotations making up my MRes. I have been focused on using a previously- designed scaffold to create a novel zinc- binding protein using the Rosetta design suite. This has required a significant capacity for independent learning and problem solving in terms of protein chemistry, biophysics and synthetic biology. The work has culminated in an express- able protein that is computationally predicted to fold into a potentially functional conformation.

Minneapolis- St. Paul

Though I live in London, England, I used to regularly return to my home of Minneapolis where I engaged in more than 50 different events over 7 years.I've mostly done wedding shoots, but have experience of corporate events and interviews, as well as smaller events such as birthday parties.I have experience working both on my own, as well as to lead a team and be a valuable member of one. I will take the initiative when necessary, and have done so many times to ensure the highest quality possible in my work.

Southampton, United Kingdom

My first research project was under Dr. Yihua Wang. The brief was to explore the effects of knocking down a gene implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition using siRNA, then to assay the effects on proteins thought to be unregulated due to the knock-down. The project required teamwork and coordination to carry out the required experiments in a limited timeframe, as well as an ability to learn new techniques quickly. The result was a positive body of evidence for the established theory.

Eastleigh

A collaboration between the University of Southampton and IBM, 80 people were selected from 300 applicants. After an intensive two day training course I was assigned a team and client, with the responsibility of contacting them. The client had a real financial problem to solve, and we had 8 weeks to present a solution. This was an exciting but challenging experience. By the end of the 8 weeks my team and I had produced an in-depth report, which was received very positively by Eastleigh Borough Council, who have since considered some of the proposed options.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Structural Biology

Dissection of Sulphoquinovose Metabolism, based on the structural characterisation of a newly discovered series of sulphoquinovose.

Master'S Degree, Structural Molecular Biology

From 2017-2018 I undertook a full year, research based master's degree based around the training and concepts needed to become.

Bachelor'S Degree, Biochemistry

Activities and Societies: I undertook a semi-independent research project, centered on siRNA- mediated knockdown of a gene implicated.

High School, Biology, Chemistry, Physics A Level, Extended Project Qualification

Activities and Societies: Chair of the Chemistry society between 2013 and 2014, Student Mentor in Biology and Chemistry Between 2012.
