I am a 4th year postgraduate researcher working with Dr James Knight at Newcastle University. My research focuses on synthesis and preclinical evaluation of probes for positron emission tomography and fluorescence imaging. This includes development of dual-modal antibody constructs for pre- and intra-operative imaging of sarcoma to enhance both surgical planning and the identification of tumour margins. I am also developing novel antibody constructs with cell-internalising properties for both diagnosis and therapy of cancer. My current position follows the award of a 1st class MChem (hons) degree in Medicinal Chemistry from Newcastle University. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking in the Lake District, snowboarding and sailing.
