Biography

My PhD is focussed on developing new tools to study the biology of proteins integral to cancer metastasis. More specifically, I am using peptide aptamers that bind to the matrix metalloproteinase MT1-MMP, that is over-expressed in many cancers, to try to discover novel functions of MT1-MMP. I am also interested in other aspects of science, namely science journalism, and in using the skills I have acquired during my PhD in other disciplines.
