Brief bio: I studied for a BSc in Biological Sciences at the University of Birmingham, completing my undergraduate research project with Dr Juliet Coates. I moved to Cambridge and joined Professor Alex Webb’s circadian signal transduction laboratory as a PhD student, funded by an industrial CASE studentship in partnership with Bayer Cropscience. I continue to work in the circadian signal transduction laboratory as a post-doctoral research associate.
