Research technician working in the solid tumour target discovery group, with a main research focus in castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

I work in a research group led by Dr Kelly Coffey, investigating signalling pathways in prostate cancer linked to the androgen receptor.

My main expertise:

• RNA isolation and gene expression analysis
• Mammalian tissue culture
• Real-time PCR
• Immunoprecipitation
• Chromatin immunoprecipitation
• Western blotting

I am responsible for the supervision and training of undergraduate, masters and PhD students.

My main building training responsibilities are:

• Nanodrop spectrophotometer
• QuantStudio™ 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System
• Aperio
