I am currently doing a PhD in Jim Haseloff's lab, University of Cambridge. I learned about OpenWetWare from Imperial College Bioengineering department, and I've joined because I was a member of Imperial College London's iGEM 2009 team.

Education

 * 2010- 2014 PhD Biological Engineering of Plant Systems, Jim Haseloff, Dept. of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge
 * 2009-2010 Msc Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology, Imperial College London
 * 2006-2009 BEng Biomedical Engineering, Imperial College London
 * 2002-2006 The British School of Gran Canaria, Spain

Research interests
My research will combine methods from several disciplines, including: More details of the topics can be found in the Haseloff Lab website. I have previously worked on dynamical models of gene regulatory networks, under the supervision of J Krishnan, Dept Chemical Engineering, Imperial College London. I am also very interested in theoretical methods for biological network reconstruction from data. In 2010, I undertook a project under the supervision of Dr Guy-Bart Stan, CSynBI institute, Imperial College London. Details of the project can be found here.
