Research Interests
I have been using molecular biology techniques to investigate the mechanisms behind ageing. My doctoral thesis was focused on post-ovulatory oocyte ageing and histone modifications. I have five-year of experience working with a model organism, zebrafish (Danio rerio).
Currently, I am working on neurodegeneration and ageing using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. We are utilising a genome-wide RNAi screen to explore the upstream mechanisms that regulate the age-dependent increase of a neurodegeneration-inducing antimicrobial peptide.
