I am a PhD Researcher in the Murakami Lab (Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Aberdeen), supervised by Dr Hajime Murakami (primary supervisor) and Dr Alexander Lorenz (co-supervisor). My research focuses on how cohesin and chromosome-axis proteins regulate meiotic DNA double-strand break (DSB) formation and recombination initiation, using calibrated ChIP-seq, molecular genetics, and quantitative analysis workflows in R/Python.
