This Cancer Research Wales funded project investigated the relationship between the anti-breast cancer properties of disulfiram and intracellular zinc levels. This work was published in Biochemical Pharmacology (Wiggins et al., 2015, Biochemical Pharmacology. 93(3), 332–342), and was highlighted as a "Key Scientific Article” by Global Medical Discovery.Whilst working on this project I developed a range of laboratory skills including spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, flow cytometry, microscopy, cell culture, western blotting, and subcellular fractionation.Additional responsibilities included supervising MSc project students, demonstrating to large groups of undergraduate students and marking practical work.I also frequently presented at lab meetings, local (Cardiff University,34th EORTC-PAMM-BACR, Cardiff), national (7th Zinc UK meeting, London) and international events (EACR- 23, Munich, Germany).
