Background

I am a research associate working in the lab of Dr Suzanne Madgwick. I undertook a PhD in molecular genetics at Â鶹´«Ã½, and now my work focuses on the control (or lack thereof) of chromosome alignment and segregation during Meiosis I in oocytes. Much of my work is developing and implementing new imaging technologies, techniques and analysis pipelines to acheive this goal.
