Background
I am a graduate from the University of Sheffield, having received a bachelor's degree in Medical Microbiology. During the final year of my undergraduate studies, I completed a research project looking at cell motility in Myxococcus xanthus. The aim of the project was to understand how the bacterium’s regulatory proteins initiate and coordinate cell movement. My studies also allowed me to explore and develop an interest towards disease and infection, highlighted by the challenges posed from pathogens. It was this curiosity that led me to undertake a masters degree in Antimicrobial Resistance at Sheffield. This was further emphasised from the opportunity to learn from both clinicians and scientists covering a diverse range of pathogens. My goal is to develop and refine my laboratory skills with the hope to take these into a future job, as well as increasing my knowledge of disease. Motivated by the prospect of helping within a global health challenge, I am keen to pursue a career as a clinical scientist, or similar, playing a role in contributing towards the healthcare setting. |
