Miss Elizabeth King

I am a PhD student in the school of chemistry, though my back ground is biochemistry, which was the subject of my undergraduate degree at the University of St. Andrews. I followed that on with a job as a research assistant primarily in molecular biology studying DNA replication in Trypanasoma brucei with Prof Terry Smith and Dr Stuart MacNeill.

My current PhD project is on the interface of biochemistry and organic synthesis, allowing me to use my expertise as a biochemist working on T. brucei as well as develop new skills in organic chemistry and drug discovery.
