I am currently engaged in developing human gene therapy at the University of Bristol. My research goal leverages on my gene editing expertise to develop a viral vehicle for safely and effectively administering therapeutic agents to treat human genetic diseases. I previously worked at the University of Edinburgh where I was involved in developing the application of gene editing technology in chickens with a particular focus on producing resistance to bird flu. I also have an interest in using machine learning and artificial intelligence to study how proteins can be engineered to treat animal and human diseases.
