Biography

Growing up, I was captivated by the idea that so much about life could be explained at the molecular level. This led me to pursue a BA (Hons) in Chemistry from Williams College, Massachusetts, where my honours research focused on mutations in an enzyme conferring antibiotic resistance. I also held summer research fellowships at Upstate Medical University and the NIH during my time in the US. My PhD at Cambridge focused on harnessing the APC/C E3 ubiquitin ligase for targeted protein degradation, work at the intersection of chemical biology and drug discovery. Beyond the lab, I am also passionate about science education and have taught at tutored at various levels and settings. I am grateful to the Gates Cambridge Trust for this opportunity.
