Background
I currently hold a one-year MRC-funded Fellowship to lead a collaborative epigenomics project between the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit, University of Bristol and based the Centre for Genomic and Experimental Medicine, Institute of Genetics and Cancer. I am interested in using multiple lines of ‘omics’ data (such as genomics, epigenomics, proteomics) to understand biological mechanisms underlying complex disease states.
Qualifications
2021, PhD in Translational Neuroscience (funded by Wellcome Trust), The University of Edinburgh
2020, Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy
2017, BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science (Pharmacology Major), First Class Honours with Highest Honours, National University of Ireland, Galway
Responsibilities & affiliations
