Post-doctoral researcher in SIPBS
I did not take the “traditional” route to get to where I am today. When I was 23 I made the bold decision to go back to college after leaving school at 17. I did an NQ in Applied Biological Sciences at Forth Valley College without really knowing what I wanted to do after that. I followed this up by continuing to an HND at the college and through great encouragement from my lecturers, I applied for direct entry to third year of an Honours degree in Biochemistry and Immunology in SIPBS. The experience I had during my final year project encouraged me to apply for a PhD looking at protein structure and dynamics of regulatory proteins in bacteria. In 2016 I took up a post-doctoral role in SIPBS.
