I joined the Trost Lab as a MoSMed (EPSRC CDT) PhD student in September 2019 and I will be studying high-throughput MALDI-TOF metabolite screening assays for drug discovery in human disease in collaboration with Boehringer-Ingelheim.
Prior to joining the lab I completed an MSci (Hons) in Biochemistry with professional placement at the University of Birmingham where I worked on a global proteomics approach identifying substrates of Leucocyte common-antigen related phosphatase (LAR). During my placement I worked for The Binding Site developing specialist diagnostic assays for immune system disorders.
