I worked in the Molecular Biology department characterising transgenic insect strains via molecular biology. Techniques included cloning, copy number analysis (qPCR, southern blotting), and the use of the Bioinformatic tool, Geneious. As part of my role I was also involved in writing regulatory dossiers, managing the laboratory and acting as a health and safety representative.

PhD title: The role of Hippo co-activators Yap, Taz, and Vgll in regulating muscle cell fate and embryonic development. I have gained experience in a variety of techniques during my PhD, including molecular cloning, qPCR, in Situ Hybridisation, western blotting, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, big data analytics, mammalian cell culture, retroviral production and chicken embryology techniques.

Edinburgh, United Kingdom

During this internship I worked within the public engagement department where I helped organise events that reached an audience of between 10-500 people. Additionally, a major outcome of this internship was writing and illustrating a Children’s science book that is now available as an online resource.

During my time at Abbott Diabetes care my role as a technologist involved supporting the material selection process of diabetic test strips. This included running development trials, supporting design control projects, working to pre-approved protocols, interpreting data in order to drive projects as well as complying with GMP/GLP and EHS. I have also attended and passed 4 AAMI day intensive course on ‘GMP requirements and Industry Practice’ in 2012.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Molecular Biology

Masters Of Research, Regenerative Medicine, Merit

Regenerative medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field of research which focuses on the repair, replacement or regeneration.

Bsc(Hons) Pharmacology, Pharmacology, 2.1

The field of pharmacology is of great importance as it allows us to understand the action of drugs as well as develop future candidates.
