Work Experience

Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Geneva
March 1, 2022 - November 25, 2025
Project: Characterisation of an m6A reader protein and RNA helicase in C. elegans fertility. Combined RNA sequencing, imaging and fertility assays; analyzed large-scale RNAseq, small RNAseq and RIPseq datasets using Bash and R; produced a first-author manuscript; wrote a published review article; presented findings at national and international conferences; mentored students.
Research Associate at Newcastle University
February 1, 2022 - February 1, 2022
Project: Determination of ITS1 cleavage site choice in human ribosome production. Characterised multiple ribosome biogenesis factors in several human cell lines using northern blotting, glycerol gradient analysis, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence. Presented findings at conferences; collaborated with other groups to uncover links between ribosome biogenesis and disease; mentored students; produced COVID-19 lab technique video demonstrations.
PhD Candidate at Newcastle University
August 1, 2018 - August 1, 2018
Project: The roles of human ribosome biogenesis factors in pre-rRNA cleavage and p53 regulation. Generated stable human cell lines to characterize multiple endoribonucleases in human ribosome biogenesis using RNAi, northern blotting, in vitro RNA cleavage assays, immunofluorescence and western blotting; mentored bachelor and master students; contributed to two first-author publications; awarded the Newcastle University Faculty of Medical Sciences Doctoral Thesis Prize 2019.
