Biography
I completed my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at Durham, and it was then that I got the opportunity to work in the Croset Lab for a research project module. I enjoyed it so much that I applied to stay on in Durham and do my MRes here. I am interested in the neurogenetics of learning and memory, and my MRes project aims to develop a method to identify and isolate specific engram cells, which are responsible for encoding long-term memories, and to transcriptionally analyse them once they have been isolated from the rest of the fly brain.
