Project advisor with the Open Innovation Team (OIT), a government-based consultancy unit.

Senior researcher in metabolic engineering, microbial strain engineering and engineering biology.

Engineering research in several fields, including: computational modelling, biocomputation, microbial engineering and personalised medicine.My final thesis focuses on using engineering biology to create whole-cell biosensors and 'engineered biotherapeutics' that can be used to help detect and, in time, prevent disease. This exposed me to a number of techniques, including: C. elegans handling, mathematical modelling (Hill fitting, ODEs, Gompertz fitting), genetic circuit construction and… Show more Engineering research in several fields, including: computational modelling, biocomputation, microbial engineering and personalised medicine.My final thesis focuses on using engineering biology to create whole-cell biosensors and 'engineered biotherapeutics' that can be used to help detect and, in time, prevent disease.
