MSc | Molecular Biology - York University
BSc - Specialized Honours | Biology - York University

I currently work with histone methyltransferase ATXR6 with interest in solving structures of this enzyme in complex with its interacting proteins using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. During my MSc, I worked in the field of ubiquitin biology (supervisors: Dr. Vivian Saridakis and Dr. Yi Sheng) and worked on circadian clock mechanism during my BSc honours studies (supervisor: Dr. Patricia Lakin-Thomas).
