Summary
I completed my Undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Newcastle University followed by an MRes and PhD in Chemical Biology and Biophysics from Imperial College London. My PhD was based on developing transdermal drug delivery compounds sponsored by GSK.
I spent 3 years at a young biotechnology company, QuantuMDx Group, developing POC medical devices for genetic-based disease diagnosis. In 2017 I co-founded QuickCount Ltd. developing rapid POC blood tests to distinguish viral from bacterial infections. In 2019 I was elected Graduate Student Union President at Imperial College.
I am currently a Post-doctorial Associate at Imperial College London investigating the effects of extreme environments on artificial cells.
