I joined the CVR, as a member of the Genomics Group, in 2024 to lead the technical development of single-cell transcriptomics assays. This will include the development and optimisation of the protocols to propose a viable and robust solution to study infections pathways.

Previously, I received a PhD in Marine Biodiversity at the University of Aberdeen. The project was founded by the National Decommissioning Centre in the oil and gas field to develop and optimise technologies to identify species linked to oil and gas infrastructures and democratise science by facilitating the processes to characterise biodiversity.

I have used various technologies such as lateral flow assay and Sanger sequencing, high-throughput Sequencing, and Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing platforms to characterise biodiversity and detect invasive species.

My research interests revolve around the fast-paced field of single-cell transcriptomics and its multimodalities. I will use the droplet and combinatorial barcoding single-cell technologies combined with high-throughput sequencing to contribute to the understanding of viruses.
