Profile

I love hanging out with friends and going to underground metal/hardcore gigs locally and around the UK. Aside from having a good mosh with good energy music, I love the sense of community 🥰

I was always interested in a career in Science/Health but at 18 was so sure I was not going to be a scientist – no idea why just thought I couldn’t see myself wearing a labcoat and looking down a microscope every day.

Here I am 15 years down the line having the best time of my life working in University doing research finding new ways to cure cancer! I also teach University students lab skills and a bit of maths/statistics knowledge necessary for analysing data you get from the lab.

Sometimes I go to conferences/events to present to other scientists what discoveries I have made and see if we can collaborate each other to solve the next scientific mystery!

I wake up and have a coffee breakfast and watch Youtube videos while I get ready for work. I get to work 9 am and start on experiments or have meetings with my boss or other researchers in my lab group. Some of my experiments include giving cancer cells different types and combinations of drugs to see which can kill them the best.

I have lunch with my lab group in the cafe and we always have a good laugh. Then I head back to the lab to continue doing experiments or analyse experimental results on the computer. I might have an afternoon coffee with my colleagues and discuss some research plans for the next few weeks. I head home around 4-5 pm.
