Jumayma Jones

I am a proactive and detail-oriented biologist with an MSc from Imperial College London, specialising in laboratory management and science education. With hands-on experience in maintaining laboratory spaces and supporting scientific research. I excel at ensuring efficient and safe operations. I am eager to contribute my expertise to advancing cutting-edge scientific work.

I have a strong background in laboratory management, having worked as a Science Technician at Valentines High School, where I prepared laboratory equipment, maintained inventory, and ensured compliance with safety standards. Additionally, my role as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the London Academy of Excellence involved supporting biology students through teaching, resource development, and mentoring. These roles demonstrate my ability to manage laboratory environments effectively while fostering collaboration and education.

I hold an MSc in Taxonomy, Biodiversity & Evolution from Imperial College London, where I conducted advanced research on the genetic diversity of host-associated species. This program equipped me with extensive laboratory skills, scientific communication expertise, and a deep understanding of phylogenetics. My academic journey also includes a BSc in Biology from Royal Holloway, University of London, where I achieved Upper Second-Class Honours.
