Biography
Having graduated from Durham in 2024 with a first class degree in Biosciences (BSc), I began my Biochemistry PhD under the supervision of Dr Liz Morris. I am fascinated by the molecular basis of host-pathogen interactions. My PhD focuses on antiviral innate immune proteins which are able to bind to RNA. I am using structural and biophysical techniques to probe the activity of some of these unusual RNA-binding domains from human defensive proteins.
