She completed her PhD in 2023 under the supervision of Professor Maria Kavallaris, and has continued working with Maria on the development of targeted liposomal nanoparticles to deliver RNA therapeutics to solid tumours, including neuroblastoma and brain cancers. A chemical engineer by training, she enjoys problem solving and investigating the impact of different nanoparticle formulations on nanoparticle delivery efficiency.
