I am a 3rd year undergraduate biology student from the University of York, currently undertaking a Year in Industry in the Haerty lab.
My research this year investigates the functional implications of alternative splicing across different cell lineages. This involves utilising computational and laboratory techniques in the Earlham Biofoundry to characterise the co-regulation of isoforms involved in the formation of functional protein complexes.
My interests lie in the intersection of synthetic biology, molecular genetics and plant pathology, with a focus on the application of these fields for environmental and societal welfare. These interests were fostered by my time at the Gatsby Plant Science Summer School 2024, after which I completed a summer project at Imperial College London in 2025, funded by the British Society for Plant Pathology.
While in London, I conducted computational and laboratory research into the roles and networks of a family of intracellular immune receptors in broad bean, a novel plant system.
Looking into the future, I aim to pursue a career in research, collaborating with the global scientific community to contribute to the development of sustainable solutions to global challenges.
