Background
I recently obtained a first-class degree in Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Lincoln. During my final year project, I investigated the carriage of cloacin DF13, an antimicrobial peptide (bacteriocin), in three clinically important Klebsiella species, which involved using BLAST (bioinformatics program) to analyse DNA sequences. Throughout my final year, while undertaking my research project and a One Health module, I became engrossed in reading papers regarding novel antimicrobial agents and the global health crisis that is antimicrobial resistance. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Antimicrobial Resistance at the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with the Florey Institute. Upon completion of the course, I intend to apply the knowledge and skills gained from both of my degrees to a research career that will allow me to contribute to the fight against antimicrobial resistance. |
