    OBJECTIVE
    Having been introduced to biological research in the third year of my degree and Bioinformatics at Zeneca, I intend to obtain a long-term career in Bioinformatics.


    EDUCATION
    Oct 2000 - Sept 2002
    Birkbeck College, University of London,
    MSc. in Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics
    Project Supervisor: Dr Sylvia Nagl
    Title of project: Computational search protocol for the characterisation of proteins.

    Sept 1993 - July 1997
    University of East London,
    BSc. (Hons) in Applied Biology
    Project Supervisor: Dr David Rowley
    Title of project: Comparing the number of hydrogen peroxide producing and non producing Lactobacilli from HVS of women suffering from bacterial vaginosis.


    EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

    July 1998 - Oct 1999
    Department: INVENTIONS; Syngenta (previously known as Zeneca Agrochemicals).
    Molecular biologist and a Quality Assurance officer in the Plant Biotechnology Section of the. Duties included the verification of the integrity of clones being produced for transformation into plants using Molecular Biological methods and various Bioinformatics packages. The information was stored on a self-written and maintained fully searchable MS Access database.

    Feb 1998 - July 1998
    Department of Molecular Genetics at the Institute of Ophthalmology.
    Unpaid work as a research assistant for a Scientific Officer. The project involved working on a corneal dystrophy called Congenital Hereditary Endothelial Dystrophy (CHED), that had previously been mapped to a region on chromosome 20p11.2. Duties also included the physical mapping of the disease locus.

    Sept 1995 - Aug 1996
    Joint Microbiology Research Unit; King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry.
    Routine work involved the taxonomy of the two main genospecies of A. naeslundii by Microbial and Molecular Biological methods. Main Responsibilities included isolating single colonies of A naeslundii, isolating the chromosomal DNA, running RFLP analysis on the restriction digests to detect the differences in the RFLP patterns of the different strains within the same genospecies. Further identification of the different strains within the same genospecies was carried out by PCR.
