Research
Sharpening up protein NMR: ultra‐high resolution experiments

Biography
I’ve obtained a BSc degree in Biochemistry at London Metropolitan University (2017) and an MRes in Molecular Biophysics for Medical Sciences at King’s College London (2018). I became interested in protein NMR during my time at KCL, where my dissertation project involved the use of NMR for allergen epitope mapping. As of September 2020, I’ve started my PhD (BBSRC DTP) at the University of Manchester.
My research will be concerned with the development of pure shift methods to improve spectral resolution and sensitivity in protein NMR experiments.
