London, England, United Kingdom
A graduate of King’s College London with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences, currently pursuing a Master of Research in Cancer Biology at Imperial College London. As an MRes Student Researcher at The Institute of Cancer Research, working in Professor Axel Behrens’s group( Cancer Stem Cell), contributions focus on pancreatic cancer progression and therapy resistance.
• Working as a part of Professor Axel Behrens’s research group in the Breast Cancer division, Cancer Stem Cell group.
• Working as a part of Dr Samatha Terry’s research group in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at St Thomas’ Hospital. • Conducted a comprehensive analysis of neuroendocrine cell lines in both 2D cell cultures and 3D spheroid models to evaluate their response to EBRT. • Developed an R-based tool to measure the growth rate of the spheroids.
• The Amgen Scholars Program is a prestigious and highly competitive program (<2.3% acceptance rate) that provides opportunities for aspiring scientists. • Worked in Prof Dr Axel Imhof’s group at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Biocenter. • Analyzed histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) in KDM1B and EZH2 knockout cell lines using mass spectrometry • Conducted deep proteome profiling to identify differentially expressed proteins and pathways • Investigated metabolic pathway changes to understand the impact of KDM1B and EZH2 knockouts • Profiled methylated proteins to map the methylation landscape associated with cancer progression.
• Explored the role of FoxA2/3 TF over-expression in the epigenetic landscape of asthmatic lung epithelial cells • Collaborated with Dr Paul Lavender on a project • As a result of my work was awarded the King's College Self-Sourced Research Award • Developed skills in enzymatic MethylSeq, Oxford Nanopore sequencing, library preparation, and qPCR. • Enhanced laboratory efficiency by maintaining accurate records and organizing data for analysis. • Expanded technical skillset by attending workshops, seminars, and training sessions on emerging technologies relevant to the field.
