Although I began my research career working in the Health Care sector at Toronto General Hospital, I have spent much of my research hours studying the cytoskeleton, working under the supervision of both Dr. T.J. Mitchison and Dr. T. Hinchcliffe. My past research projects have involved searching for drugable targets of small molecules and investigating centrosome dynamics. Following completion of my research project at Harvard University, I spent my 2004 summer at the MBL Physiology course as the Course Assistant. Currently I have taken up graduate school at the University of Cambridge where I am a Gates Scholar. At present I am investigating redundancy in the genome. Besides research, I'm also interested in the role of business in science.
Interests
In my off time you will most likely find me snowboarding, wakeboarding, travelling, punting along the river Cam or just hanging out with friends.
