Current Role
This exciting project is a BBSRC sLoLa, 4-year, multi-partner project that is investigating the role of asynchronous rediploidization following a whole genome duplication in eukaryotic evolution.
Biography & Previous Work
I have an undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Aberdeen, which introduced me to the world of genetics.

This is when I joined the Macqueen Lab as part of my current role.
