Personal Statement

I am a Research Co-ordinator working within the Centre of Excellence for Long-acting Therapeutics and the Functional Materials Group, based at the Department of Chemistry. Led by Prof. Steve Rannard, the group is investigating novel material approaches to overcoming current limitations in poorly water soluble drug therapies, particularly focused on Antiretroviral Therapies. I have a multidisciplinary background, having worked in the areas of Materials Chemistry, Pharmacology, Immunology, and Biological Containment Level 3.


Currently I am a member of the Centre of Excellence for Long-acting Therapeutics (CELT) focused on developing sustained release therapies targetting a number of infectious diseases.
