Background
Having thoroughly enjoyed my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Microbiology at the University of Sheffield, it was clear that continuing my studies in an MSc in Antimicrobial Resistance was the correct path for me. I was awarded a University of Sheffield Postgraduate Scholarship which allowed me to pursue this. During the last year of my undergraduate degree, my extended research project was titled ‘X-Ray Crystallography and Structural Analysis of 4 Campylobacter jejuni Periplasmic Binding Proteins’. This provided me with new lab techniques and prepared me for further lab research. Also, in my last year, I completed my literature review on ‘The Bacterial Homologues of Actin and Tubulin’. Additionally, in 2019, I undertook a summer placement at YourGene Health, a non-invasive prenatal testing company, which amplified my analytical skills and allowed me to form networks with colleagues there. I have a particular interest in infectious disease epidemiology, and this is a career path which fascinates me. I look forward to learning more on this MSc course as well as starting my research project. |
