Summary

I am a committed, determined and self-motivated Geneticist and molecular biologist with experience of studying genetics, diagnosing human diseases, cell biologist and assisting with the development of new drugs. My core skills include experimental design, field work, statistical data analysis and a wide array of laboratory techniques. I have an analytical and investigative approach to my work which has enabled me to achieve a 1st class honor's Master of Sciences degree in this field. I have demonstrated an ability to manage a laboratory project and communicate with a wide variety of scientific colleagues through my previous work experience. I have the capability to work efficiently as part of a team but can also work individually and on my own initiative. I consistently strive to work to the best of my ability and deliver professional standards at all times and in all circumstances.
