PhD Research Degree within the Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology, investigating conformational changes in nucleic acid structures under functional splicing conditions using single molecule fluorescence microscopy.

I was actively involved in outreach activities with local schools and the teaching of chemistry undergraduate students a range of physical and synthetic techniques during practical and virtual laboratory sessions. I also worked with first year chemistry undergraduate students to develop their key maths skills during workshops.

Biotechnology Lab

8 week summer placement during which I purified and quantified a cocaine analogue. I gained further technical expertise in solid-phase synthesis, mass spectrometry, HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. I started to investigate the use of polyHIPEs as an alternative solid phase to glass beads. This was then optimised during my MChem extended research project.

Biotechnology Lab

8 week project working as part of a team investigating the use of iron oxide nanoparticles and UV to induce polymerisation of MIPS. I also gained experience of COSHH forms and had a brief introduction into the use of SYBYL.
