I joined Greg's lab in September 2017 and my PhD project aims to elucidate the functions and mechanisms of ERK5 in embryonic stem cell biology. I obtained my MBiochem from the University of Oxford in July 2017 having completed a number of research projects including my Masters project researching novel cancer drug candidates in RNA biology with Prof. Chris Norbury and a summer internship taking part in the iGEM synthetic biology competition.
