Background
I completed my BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology at the University of Huddersfield, where I undertook two years research placement investigating the kynurenine pathway in glioblastoma. For my final year dissertation, I explored the role of ARHGAP genes in glioblastoma and epithelial ovarian cancer, developing a novel analytical tool to support this research.
I am now pursuing a PhD, focusing on uncovering vulnerabilities in the microtube network and intercellular communication in gliomas through mechanistic computational modelling.
