I am a iCASE MMBDTP PhD student part of the Narbad group at QIB.

My project focuses on developing a defined microbiome-based therapy for the biocontrol of Clostridium difficile infections in the gut. Alongside the project I will be supported by my industry partner at The Functional Gut Clinic to give a clinical insight for the project, as well as extensive bioinformatics training as part of the MMBDTP program.

In 2022 I graduated from the University of Sheffield, with a Master of Biological Science in Biochemistry and Microbiology, after completing research projects on the structural and functional relationship of pore forming toxins from gram negative bacteria, and characterising Saccharomyces cerevisiae from commercial ale.
