I am a third year Ph.D student at Trinity College, University of Cambridge. I currently work in the David Klenerman Group, within the Chemistry Department, looking at the oligomerisation of proteins related to Parkinson’s disease, using single molecule detection methods.
I was previously an Undergraduate at Oriel College, University of Oxford, where I did research within the Mark Wallace Group. The group is interested in the assembly and activation of membrane-bound proteins using techniques that are capable of observing individual molecules. I researched ways to increase the photobleaching lifetimes of fluorescent dye molecules.
I was brought up in a small village named Southowram, which is on the outskirts of Halifax, West Yorkshire. After finishing at Withinfields Primary School, I attended Brighouse High School. In 2004, I moved to Greenhead College, Huddersfield, to complete A-levels in Biology, English Language, Mathematics, and Chemistry.
When not working in the laboratory, I enjoy socialising with friends (usually at the pub!). I regularly attend the gym, and enjoy long distance running. I am an avid reader, and my favourite authors include Wilbur Smith, Bryce Courtenay, James Clavell, Bernard Cornwell, and Jeffrey Archer.
thank you very much for your effort. All mechanisms are very much logical. It helps me a lot to understand organic chemistry in a better way. Thank you once again.
