Postdoctoral Researcher
Biography
I graduated with an MBiolSci in Molecular Biology from the University of Sheffield, during which I worked on several neurodegenerative diseases, firstly at Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN), and then in industry at Eli Lilly in Surrey. In 2016 I joined the Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Programme, where my DPhil research used Drosophila as a model system to investigate RNA cargo packaging into extracellular vesicles (EVs) under normal and oxidative stress conditions.
Research Summary
My current research aims to discover new biomarkers of cellular dysfunction in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) using proteomic analysis of human serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and of extracellular vesicles extracted from these biofluids.
