• Current Job

  Research Technician at the University of Aberdeen.
  My role is rotational; I work in various research groups assisting the researchers with their projects. This allows me to learn a lot of new laboratory techniques, understand new concepts and meet loads of new people!

  My past work has looked into:

  Salmonella and how the bacteria that causes salmonella combats the bodies defence system,

  arthritis and the cellular mechanisms involved in the inflammation associated with the disorder and

  identifying fungal pathogens and how good they are at infecting people.

• Employer

  • I work for the University of Aberdeen and I am based in the Institute of Medical Sciences on their campus next to the hospital. I work with professors, post doctoral professionals, doctors, students and technicians.

  

  A lot of the researchers’ work can be transferred into clinical medicine and that is why our building is based next to the hospital.

  Our University won Scotland’s Best University of the Year in 2019 and has great biological sciences, dentistry, medicine and natural sciences departments.
