I obtained a PhD from the Quadram Institute/University of East Anglia in 2021. My PhD focused on the intestinal microbiome of ME/CFS patients, Bacteroides fragilis genomics and Bacteroides phage. I started at Nottingham Trent University as a Research Assitant in 2021 exploring the microbiome in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I also continued my interest in bacterial and phage genomics. After returning from maternity leave, I joined University of Lincoln as a Metagenomic Research Associate investigating the intestinal microbiome in military working dogs.
Currently, I am working as a Research Associate in the Cardiovascular Department. I am exploring the association between the microbiome and cardiovascular disease using novel technologies, microbial genomics and metabolomics
