I began my scientific career as a degree apprentice at GSK in 2017. Whilst working in the Genetic Toxicology team at GSK, I completed a BSc in Applied Bioscience from the University of Kent, where my final year project focussed on investigation of both epigenetic and aneugenic mechanisms using flow cytometry-based assays. Since completing my undergraduate degree, I have continued my career at GSK whilst pursuing an MSc with Swansea University, investigating the HPRT assay for nitrosamine risk assessment. In my role at GSK, I am responsible for study directing non-GLP pivotal gene tox screening assays as well as performing genotoxic risk assessments, looking at potential genotoxicity at a structural level. I have been a member of UKEMS since I began my career in 2017 and I am now really looking forward to supporting early career scientists in the NUKEMS community.
