I specialise in enzyme proteomics working on new product development, research and analysis with emphasis on new protein development for animal health. My main duties include: - reviewing and developing assay protocols -conducting research projects -performing enzyme assays for measuring enzymatic activity during a reaction - structural analysis of proteins by ESI mass spectrometry -performing general protein techniques such as protein extraction and gel electrophoresis I specialise in enzyme proteomics working on new product development, research and analysis with emphasis on new protein development for animal health.

•During my final year I was a student ambassador for the school of Biological Sciences in the University. I worked during the UCAS open days, where I introduced high school students to the university by showing them around the campus. •Learned how to talk in front of many people, since the groups were consisted of 20 students. •During my final year I was a student ambassador for the school of Biological Sciences in the University.
