Work History
Bioinformatics Research in Recurrent Miscarriage
University of Warwick
Coventry
08.2025 - 10.2025
- I developed novel computational workflows to analyse transcriptomic data of the endometrium.
- Highlighted pathways affected by miscarriage and presented findings to the research group, enhancing collective understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
- Worked alongside the world-leading Prof Jan Brosens and his team of expert bioinformaticians and bioengineers.
Pathology and Pharmacology Laboratories
University of Cambridge
Cambridge
10.2024 - 05.2025
- Interpreted histopathological slides and flow cytometry data, performing infectivity calculations to inform treatment decisions.
- Applied knowledge of experimental design to investigate the effects of drugs and antagonists on receptors, contributing to the understanding of pharmacological interactions.
- Confident in essential laboratory skills in the context of antigen/antibody detection, including inhibition agglutination assays.
Machine Learning Prediction of Malaria
Presented to EBI
10.2024 - 04.2025
- I developed an AI training algorithm that predicted the prevalence of malaria cases in different African countries one year ahead.
- It has been proven that spatial weather patterns are significant factors in predicting the transfer of zoonotic diseases.
- Presented findings during the interview round with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI).
Research Placement in Bone Development
University of Cambridge
08.2024 - 09.2024
- Supervised by Dr Alberto Rosello-Diez, created TGF beta cRNA probes for in situ hybridisation at the perichondrium, assessing the effect of p21 treatment in mice bone sections.
- Competent in molecular biology techniques, including bacterial transformation, PCR, gel electrophoresis, and minipreps.
- Exposure to advanced techniques such as Gibson Assembly, lineage tracing, Cre-loxP manipulation, and culturing mammalian cells.
Academic Dissection Placement
Cambridge Human Anatomy Centre
Cambridge
06.2024 - 06.2024
- Completed intensive upper-limb dissection, enhancing fine motor and suturing skills.
- Researched anatomical variations, including vascular embryology, and accessory muscle heads.
Biochemistry Laboratory
University of Cambridge
Cambridge
10.2023 - 05.2024
- Acquired and applied fundamental laboratory skills, including Bradford assay, ELISA, mitochondrial oxygen electrode use, minipreps, and restriction mapping, to support experimental objectives.
- Analysed chromatography data and utilised bioinformatics databases to enhance data interpretation, and inform research conclusions.
Review of Extended Reality in Education
Ernesford Grange Community Academy
Coventry
10.2022 - 10.2023
- Conducted a narrative literature review on the potentials and challenges of using extended reality (XR) in secondary education, highlighting implications for health, children's learning, and mental health.
- I drew on over 100 papers, presenting the manuscript to my school.
- Gained proficiency in quickly locating, and interpreting, relevant research.
Teacher in Science and Mathematics
Ernesford Grange Community Academy
Coventry
09.2022 - 09.2023
