I am interested in studying the complex interactions within biological systems using a holistic approach, with the ultimate goal to elucidate the mechanisms driving disease origin and progression to take new treatments and diagnostics from benchtop to bedside. I completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne, where my project focused on elucidating the mechanisms underlying the regulation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1) signalling pathway. My work involved the use of multiple methods, including proteomics and started my interest in mass spectrometry as a powerful research tool. Following my PhD, I joined the group of Prof. Valerie O’Donnell at Cardiff University, where my project focused on using targeted lipidomics to investigate the mitochondrial metabolism of eicosanoids in inflammation. My work there allowed me to further expand my knowledge of mass spectrometry and its use to address biological questions. In October 2019, I joined the Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies (OCMS) as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Metabolomics. My role focuses on supporting microbiome-related research and includes sample handling, data processing, statistical analysis, developing new methodologies and workflows, and advising collaborators on sample collection and experimental design.
