Staff Profile

I am a Postdoc Research Associate at the Drug Discovery group of Newcastle University. My broad thinking and my scientific creativity are giving a strong contribution in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind tumor cell transformation. I am a protein chemist involved in structural and functional analysis of drug targets to create new cancer therapies.
