Postgraduate Research Student
Overview
I graduated from the University of Surrey in 2017 with a first-class degree in Biochemistry, which was a four year course with an industrial placement year. The industrial placement year was performed at CEFAS and involved molecular biology and microbiology techniques to enable estimates of viable norovirus in shellfish using a surrogate bacteriophage.
My interests lie within human disease, microbiology, virology and molecular biology.
Broad research specialisms
Molecular biology, microbiology, virology, biochemistry, phylogenetics, pathology
Qualifications
