Grace A. Meaker
DPhil Student
Grace Meaker undertook her Biological Sciences BSc at Cardiff University, with a specialism in Genetics. She gained experience with CRISPR in Dr Thomas Gorochowski’s lab at the University of Bristol, as well as working on fine-tuning genetic circuits.
Grace’s work in Oxford centres around haematopoietic stem cell biology In Dr Adam Wilkinson's group, using molecular biology techniques to discover key transcription factors controlling expansion of haematopoietic cells.
