Postdoctoral Research Associate and Cambridge PhD graduate specialising in RNA biology, host-microbe interactions and innate immunity. I interrogate large multi-omics datasets to deliver genuine biological insight. With fluency across the entire analysis pipeline, I ensure that results remain grounded in biological reality, enabling me to test them through targeted validation experiments. By combining bioinformatics with robust cell- and reporter-based assays, I uncover precise molecular mechanisms driving the regulation of gene expression at multiple levels and how it impacts both health and disease.
Investigating RNA Biology during host-pathogen interactions in the Chung Lab, Department of Pathology.
Supported the development, testing, and regulatory compliance of point-of-care (POC) molecular diagnostics designed to detect infectious diseases using isothermal nucleic acid amplification in resource-limited settings.
Awarded a competitive Downing College Long Vacation Research Bursary (via the Bill Willetts and Mays Wild Funds) to conduct a computational project supervised by Dr Andrew Holding within the Markowetz group, generating a custom bioinformatics pipeline that incorporated a novel ChIP-seq data normalisation technique.
