As part of the RDM Research Strategy and Funding team, I work closely with the Research Strategy Coordinator, Ruth McCaffrey, and Research Facilitator, Serena Briant, to support research and funding activities in RDM.
In particular, I am responsible for:

Before joining RDM in May 2018, I trained as a scientist with a particular interest in developmental neurobiology. I completed my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences at King's College London in 2013, then moved to the Francis Crick Institute for my PhD.
