I am a trainee veterinary clinician-scientist who is fascinated by the molecular workings of different species. In particular, I am interested in the mechanisms through which environmental cues, such as the photoperiod, regulate physiological changes. In future, I hope to combine clinical practice with basic research, translating laboratory findings into the clinic for the betterment of animal and human health. To achieve this aim, I am currently reading for a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM&S). Previously, I completed a BSc (Hons) degree in Biochemistry and Chemistry (1st; top of class), and subsequently, MPhil and PhD degrees. My research had to do with the genetic and cellular underpinnings of autoimmune diseases. I am fortunate to have had my research published in leading scientific journals and prior to starting my veterinary education, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and the University of Cambridge. I very much enjoy academic writing, and have notable experience in the areas of biology, biochemistry, chemistry, genetics, immunology and clinical medicine.
