About me

Hello, and welcome! I’m a Postdoctoral Research scientist in Barts Cancer Institute. I work in the Mardakheh Lab where I use multi-omics approaches, to systematically reveal the relationship between RNA localisation and protein expression in mammalian cells. Learn more about my research interests in publications.

I enjoy using R to optimize my research workflow and I enjoy sharing my experiences in the Tidyverse with others. Keep up with my data exploration using R in posts and teaching in talks. Thanks for reading!

Experience

Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Barts Cancer Institute

Apr 2017 – Present London, UK

Developing tools to quantify RNA binding proteins (RBPs) to understand their function at the RNA level.

Using multi-omics approaches to systematically reveal the relationship between RNA localisation and protein expression in mammalian cells, and to assess how RNA localisation might be dysregulated in cancer cells in order to promote a more malignant phenotype
