Profile
Biography
Specialist in functional nucleic acids (DNAzymes, RNA-cleaving DNAzymes), nucleic acid based nanoparticles, molecular biology, and cancer research. Skilled in predictive modelling of nucleic acid interactions, computational modelling and machine learning using R as well as having 'wet-lab' expertise. I have a passion for biologically inspired engineering, designing and developing new ways to use biological design in innovations that answer unmet scientific need. Trained as an HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist with a First Class Honours Biomedical Science degree. Fellow of the Institute of Biomedical Science. Member of the IBMS Cellular Pathology Specialist Advisory Panel. Masters by dissertation in Cell & Molecular Biology. Scholarship PhD in Cell & Molecular Biology, developing a novel gene therapy and nanoparticle delivery system for castrate resistant prostate cancer (end-stage) resulting in 2 patents (Pine et al., 2023). Founder of 10zyme, a company that aims to make screening women for HPV an easier process. Member of the HPV Coalition.
