About

I'm a Wellcome Early Career Fellow at Centre for Integrative Parasitology hosted in the lab of Clare Harding. My main research interests concern parasite molecular biology - specifically gene expression regulation. Currently I am investigating the roles of mRNA-binding proteins in nutrient regulation in apicomplexan parasites like Toxoplasma gondii.
