Undergraduate student 
BSc in Biochemistry (2026), SBBS QMUL

My days are split between studying biochemistry, working on computational models for Ndc80c-microtubule dynamics, running the Synthetic Biology and Biochemical Engineering Society, and building an iGEM 2025 team. By night I play guitar and enjoy London’s music scene.

Exploring the intricate dance of cell division: delving into the molecular ballet of kinetochore binding to dynamic microtubule ends. Passionate about capturing both the beauty of cellular processes and the serenity of nature through photography, with a love for bicycle rides in between discoveries.
