Biography:

I am a recently established PI, that heads the Development and Transcriptional Control Group at the London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS), Imperial College London. I completed my PhD with Carol Wicking at The Institute for Molecular Bioscience, where I combined mouse genetics and in vitro approaches to study gene regulatory networks. I then undertook postdoctoral training in the lab of James Briscoe at The Francis Crick Institute, where I developed expertise in the use of embryonic stem cells and their application to high-throughput sequencing technologies. In 2020, I moved to Imperial College London to establish my own research group, that studies the molecular mechanisms that control cell identity in the developing nervous system, supported by Wellcome and The Royal Society.
