Before All This

Before All This happened, I was a statistician and scientist. I worked latterly at AstraZeneca, and before that spent some years at GlaxoSmithKline.

From 2009 to 2013 I was a PhD student in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Imperial College London. My thesis was on the development of statistical methods to use genetic data in the estimation of disease risk. My supervisor was Professor Maria De Iorio. I spent the final thirteen months of my PhD studentship as a visiting student to the Department of Statistical Science at UCL. In 2013 I passed my PhD and starting working.

From 2008 to 2009 I was an MSc student in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial. I completed the MSc in Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology.

My postgraduate training was funded by a Wellcome Trust Four-year PhD Studentship.

My undergraduate training is in biochemistry. I completed a BSc Biochemistry, also at Imperial. My copy of Stryer is the green one (fifth edition).
