Background
I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a First-Class Hons Degree in Biochemistry and Microbiology in 2023. The insight provided from my undergraduate studies acted as a catalyst for my interest in infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance. As such, I decided to specialise by studying Antimicrobial Resistance MSc at the University of Sheffield. My passion for pathogens is reflected in my undergraduate projects. My lab project at undergraduate level was involved in characterising genes in heat-tolerance of the notorious ‘superbug’ S. aureus in the prestigious Prof. Simon Foster lab. I also carried out a literature review titled ‘Streptococcus pneumoniae, a causative agent of meningitis: Pathology, Treatment and Clinical Concerns’ under the stewardship of Dr Andrew Fenton. My professional aspirations align with a desire to help the global fight against AMR and infectious disease. I hope to undertake a role with direct clinical significance that involves improving patient outcomes, or a role that allows me to help innovators protect their products to implement them in the battle against microbes. |
