I am a PhD candidate at USC, studying opioid receptors under Dr. Cornelius Gati. My thesis work addresses the molecular mechanisms of opioid receptor function and how different types of drug effects are communicated via these receptors.

I completed my undergraduate studies in Biochemistry at the University of Bath (UK) and have previously worked as a research assistant at Amgen, and as a visiting scholar at the University of Iowa.
