Throughout my undergraduate studies and professional work, I have developed a keen interest in natural products chemistry, especially in discovering which compounds are responsible for biological activity. I am a highly driven student who has recently completed a Graduate Diploma in analytical and natural products chemistry, which involved the bioassay-guided fractionation, purification and structure elucidation on several marine compounds with anthelmintic properties. My aim is to use the skills I’ve gained in this course to complete a PhD in chemistry and drug discovery at the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery.
