I have a wide variety of interest. In Science, my interests revolve mostly around neuroscience and neurobiology. In my final year at Imperial College, I chose to concentrate on cellular neurobiology, molecular neurobiology and applied techniques in neuroscience research as well as cell signalling and protein sorting. My final year 8,000 word literature project was on molecular and cellular biology of Tau.

With the most recent first:

Oct 2007 onwards, I start my PhD project investigating on the role of tau gene transcriptional regulation in neurodegeneration.

Sep 2005/2006, I did a 1 year research project at GSK Harlow to do with protein purification.

Jun 2005, I did a 10-week project in Dr. Pentau Liu’s lab at Sanger Institute creating a construct for chromosome translocation mediated tumour genesis.

Aug 2004, I did a 8-week project in Dr. Jane Saffell’s lab at Imperial College looking at the concentration dependent effects of fibroblast growth factor on cell proliferation and survival.

Jun 2004, I did a 6-week project in Dr. Peter Nixon’s lab at Imperial College working to express of NDH subunits in E.Coli.
