Single-cell sequencing at Earlham Institute
Developing and applying new technology to decode life at single-cell level.
Biography
I am a Research Assistant working in the Macaulay group at the Earlham Institute, that focusses on technical development and application of new approaches for integrated sequencing of single cells. I am assisting with single cell sequencing of immune cells from bovine origin in collaboration with a research team in Edinburgh.
Prior to this role at the Earlham Institute, I have completed my BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science at the University of the West of England in 2019 and my MSc in Molecular Medicine at the University of East Anglia in 2020. During my MSc I completed my research project in the Molecular Microbiology department of the John Innes Centre, which confirmed to me that the Norwich Research Park is an inspiring and exciting place to be a part of.

Differences make a difference: from one cell to a world of individuality
In our last article, we explored how low-level exposure to antibiotics in the environment is affecting the emergence of resistance genes in Salmonella. Here, we explore how single-cell genomics can elevate our understanding of how AMR arises - and equip us with the knowledge to tackle this existential threat.
