I am a PhD student part of the Norwich Research Park Doctoral Training Partnership supervised by Dr Stephen Robinson. My project focuses on the role of the role of neuropilins in regulating tight and adherens junctions in the blood-brain-barrier.

Previously, I graduated in 2020 with a BSc in Biology with a year in Europe at the University of York. Preceding this, I undertook a Master’s Research at Imperial College London in Biomedical Sciences (Microbiome in Health and Disease) where I focused on the gut-brain axis and quantifying amino acid concentration in faeces from different diets using Mass Spectrometry. I pursued my academic career as a Research Assistant in the Genetic and Genomic Medicine department at UCL, creating biomarker assays for rare genetic diseases using Mass Spectrometry.
