About me:
With a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Toronto, I joined Professor Ed Tate’s group as an MRes student at the Imperial College. After two years as a synthetic chemist at Pfizer, I am back at Imperial College now as a PhD student in the Department of Clinical Sciences.
My PhD project focuses on identifying inhibitors for HORMAD1, a meiotic protein with significant implications in oncology. My research project is a collaboration between the Martinez-Perez, Fuchter, and Barnard groups.
The group focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that ensure the correct transmission of chromosomes into the gametes during meiosis. Defects in this process are leading cause of sterility, miscarriages, and birth defects in humans.
