#introduction I'm an Investigator Scientist at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit at #CambridgeUniversity. I use #Structuralbiology and #Biochemistry to study respiratory complex I, using a range of techniques including single particle #CryoEM #Enzymekinetics and #Respirometry. In this role I am particularly interested in #Biguanide therapeutics, #Mitochondria, and workplace wellbeing.
I'm not just a scientist though, I like drawing and painting, and my favourite band is #Tool :)
