Leading the development of the SWIFTR biosensor technology platform. I am also immersed in fundraising, pitching, grant writing, as well as customer discovery and engagement.

I worked as part of the process analytics team at Lonza Biologics Slough prior to starting my PhD. This allowed me to gain hands on experience of working to GMP/GLP guidelines in industrial science, as well as provided me insight into the inner workings of the biopharmaceutical industry. During my time here I ran a wide range of different assays to investigate antibody titre and purity in cell extract samples. The techniques I used included HPLC, ELISA, Octet, SDS-PAGE and capillary electrophoresis. I assisted with the development of a new method for identification of a novel small protein drug based around the Octet system. I was responsible for ensuing my work, both lab and customer report based, met strict quality guidelines.
