Background
I am a PhD student at the Roslin Institute within the lab group of Dr Christine Tait-Burkard and part of the Wellcome Trust-funded One Health Models of Disease PhD programme. My PhD project uses functional genomics to study the host-pathogen interactions of the porcine coronavirus TGEV.
Prior to my PhD, I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Edinburgh, graduating top of the Medical Sciences class of 2020, and I stayed within the University to complete my masters degree in Biomedical Science the following year.
Qualifications
BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences (The University of Edinburgh, 2020) - First Class Honours
MScR Biomedical Sciences (The University of Edinburgh, 2021) - Distinction
Research summary
My research interests are in emerging and zoonotic viruses, RNA viruses, one health, functional genetics, and infectious diseases and climate change.
