Emily is a second year biochemistry student at the University of Leeds with a particular interest in proteins, nucleosomes, and the field of immunology. Keen on volunteering, Emily hopes to one day work with elephants and children in Thailand! Emily lends her impressive organization skills, work ethic, and forward thinking vision to the Leeds iGEM team (and they thank her for it!). By the end of the project, Emily hopes to have built upon her lab skills and gain research experience in the real world of scientific research.
