Introduction
Currently, I am a PhD student in the lab of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Barbara Grünwald at the University Hospital Essen, affiliated with the University of Duisburg-Essen. My research focusses on unravelling the heterogenous PDAC stroma. Previously, I worked as a graduate and research assistant at the University of Windsor in the lab of Dr. Lisa Porter. Prior to that, I completed my MSc with distinction from UCL, and my BSC from Kingston University London

Description
- I worked as a research assistant in the lab of Dr. Lisa Porter for three years. My project focussed on unravelling the role of atypical cell cycle protein in the development and progression of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). During this period I also worked as a Teaching Assistant for Human Anatomy and Regenerative Medicine, and gained experience lecturing through the SAGES teaching program.

Populations of quiescent adult neural stem cells (NSCs) that reside in the mammalian brain aid in neurogenesis throughout life and can be identified by molecular markers including Nestin, a type VI intermediate filament protein. Cell cycle regulation plays an important role in determining the fate of NSCs in the adult brain and maintaining a crucia...
Fully differentiated cells can be reprogrammed through ectopic expression of key transcription factors to create induced pluripotent stem cells. These cells share many characteristics of normal embryonic stem cells and have great promise in disease modelling and regenerative medicine. The process of remodelling has its limitations, including a very...
