Background
I recently graduated from the University of Cambridge, having completed a degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in Pharmacology. Throughout my undergraduate degree, antimicrobial resistance has always interested me, particularly when completing a literature review on the potential use of phage therapy as an alternative to antibiotics. Additionally, during my final year I completed a research project on MsbA, a multidrug transporter that effluxes drugs and helps to synthesise the plasma membrane of gram-negative bacteria. These projects drew me to the MSc in Antimicrobial Resistance at the University of Sheffield, allowing me to pursue my primary interests of infectious disease, resistance, and immunology. I have a keen interest in developing novel therapies for bacterial infections to reduce the development of resistance, and on completion of this course, I intend to complete a PhD to further my research skills and contribute to the ‘one health’ goal to overcome antimicrobial resistance. |
