Biography

I completed a undergraduate at University of Brighton in Biomedical Sciences, where I continued to do my PhD in Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences. My PhD focussed on the wound healing response of lens epithelial cells (LECs) on incubation with MXene, a novel nanomaterial, contributing towards posterior capsule opacification development (PCO). My first postdoctoral position looked at the biochemical interactions of the lens capsule basement membrane and LEC senescence leading to fibrosis and PCO.
Currently I am working across the labs of Dr Paula Alexandre and Prof. JP Martinez-Barbera. Our project involves developing a hindbrain organoid model for exploitation to model cancer cell development, focusing on low- and high-grade glioblastomas.
