BA (Oxon)

DPhil Student

Biography

I am a medical student intercalating a DPhil in between my Preclinical and Clinical Studies. I completed my BA in Medical Sciences at the University of Oxford, including a dissertation on the influence of neuronal lineage on synaptic connectivity under the supervision of Professor Colin Akerman in the Department of Pharmacology.

Research Project

It is now well established that G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) achieve specificity through compartmentalisation of intracellular signals. My research focuses on cardiac myocytes which I use to investigate how receptors coordinate compartmentalisation of the cAMP/PKA signalling network.
