I am a recent graduate in MSc epidemiology with experience of the pharmaceutical and CRO industry's. This is Compounded by my foundation in of a BSc in Biochemistry. 

Jan 2021 – Sep 2022                Study analyst in pre-clinical dose analysis     

LabCorp Drug Development

I worked as part of a diverse team in a GLP lab analysing a variety of samples using a plethora of different methods carrying out daily analysis and took a major role in training my fellow analysis. All while producing results used to support key toxicology studies. 

My main roles included.

• Usage and maintenance of numerous types of analytical systems such as;
• High pressure liquid chromatography
• Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography
• Gas chromatography
• Liquid chromatography – mass spectroscopy
• Gravimetric analysis
• Maintaining high standard of training and records in the laboratory.
• Checking colleges work to ensure a GLP compliance.
• Aid method development and perform regular method validations.

Imperial College London

October 2022 - Current              MSc Epidemiology

Gaining experience in a wide variety of methods for statistical analysis and inference plus learning how to approach potential real-world examples and apply this knowledge. This has been achieved through participation in modules such as; 

• Principles and Methods of Epidemiology
• Bayesian Modelling for Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Data
• Genetics of Infectious Disease Pathogens
• Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and Further
• Methods in Infectious Disease Modelling
• Emerging and Neglected Tropical Diseases

This has been rounded off by my summer research project “What processes enable the observed coexistence dynamics of transposons in bacterial genomes?” during which I have developed by programming and R skills while also gaining a familiarity with high throughput processing while developed my writing style.
