About

I’m a Research Assistant in Reproductive Cell Biology at King’s College London, working with Dr Kim Jonas. My work focuses on ovarian function, hormonal signalling, and gonadotropin responses in mammalian models. I recently completed my PhD at King’s, where I studied the role of ZIP9 as a zinc transporter and membrane androgen receptor in female reproduction, combining zebrafish genetics, cell biology, and imaging. I’m particularly interested in translational reproductive research and women’s health.
