My journey into science so far
PhD
I have spent the last four years working on a virus called Reovirus. We don’t really understand why Reovirus can kill some cancers and not others. My PhD project investigates interactions occurring between Reovirus and cells (healthy, cancerous and stem cells) to find answers to this important question
2015 - Present
2013 - 2014
Masters
During my Masters I designed and engineered a new virus to treat Hepatitis C. Technically, I genetically engineered an adeno-associated viral vector to carry polycistronic microRNA cassettes that interfered with Hepatitis C replication. All you need to know is the virus worked and I got my degree
Bachelor of Science
I completed my Bachelor of Science in 2011 and moved into the Molecular Medicine program to complete my Honours year
2009 - 2012
