HPLC assay development Scientist within Bioanalytical Sciences.

My PhD work involved the discovery, production, and characterisation of bivalent peptides. Notably, this work investigated a novel peptide toxin (Xt3a) which demonstrates a potent and bivalent mode of action towards its molecular target. Key techniques that were utilized throughout my PhD work include:- Protein structure determination using NMR spectroscopy and cryo-electron microscopy.- Development of bioinformatics tools to identify novel peptide sequences.- Recombinant… Show more My PhD work involved the discovery, production, and characterisation of bivalent peptides.
