I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science from Northumbria University in 2019, during which I trained as a biomedical scientist at the NHS Northern Genetics Service. After graduating, I joined the genetic toxicology team at Labcorp in Harrogate, followed by roles as a research biomedical scientist in cellular pathology and a research technician at the Wolfson Childhood Cancer Research Centre. I later returned to Labcorp, where I now work as a technical specialist in genetic toxicology. In this role, I perform regulatory genotoxicity assays including in vivo micronucleus, comet, and transgenic rodent assays. I lead validation projects focused on innovative tools and emerging testing methods and was honoured with the ‘New Investigator Technical Award’ at the 2024 Industrial Genotoxicology Group conference, where I presented some of my work. I’m passionate about supporting early career scientists and I’m excited for the opportunity to do this as a NUKEMS committee member.
