Biography
After I obtained my B.Sc in Biochemistry from Queen’s University Belfast I worked for Abbott Ireland Diagnostics Division as a diagnostic technologist. I left Abbott Ireland and returned to Queen’s University to work as a Research Technician in the virology department. From working here I decided I wanted to continue working in research. I joined the parasitology department at Queen’s as a Ph.D student, focusing on developing a new system for screening inhibitors to treat parasitic infections. The project involved molecular parasitology, biochemistry and heterologous expression in yeast. I was funded by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. After completing my Ph.D project I started working at St. George’s University of London and a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the department of Clinical Sciences. I am currently working on the Nanomal project (www.nanomal.org). This project is funded by the European Union.
