Biography

I am a Scientist at the Merck Healthcare Satellite Lab, where I have been working since 2018. My research area focuses on the characterization of the interactions between a target protein and small molecules using biophysical techniques.

At the moment, my main responsibility is to run and interpret hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) experiments.  

 I hold a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Leicester (2013) and my past professional experiences include roles as Postdoctoral researcher at the University of Dundee (2013-2016) and Senior Scientist at Immunocore Limited (2016-2018).
