Profile

I love spending time with my friends and playing video games (especially Nintendo Switch and all Super Mario games). When I have more free time, I also love to sew and make clothes for myself or my friends. I am very focused and committed with my exercise routine. I go for runs in the park, hot yoga, and some weightlifting at the gym. I am a vegetarian and love cooking and eating delicious food with my husband and friends. I love spending time in Central London and feel so blessed to live in such a charming place.

In my work, we grow cancer cells in the lab and treat them with new drugs to see if they are effective before being used in patients. We also check the genetics to understand which genes and mutations are important and how to prevent drug resistance in the patients. Currently, I am working with colorectal cancer, but I have worked with skin cancer, brain cancer, and many more before.

I wake up and have breakfast at home (porridge with banana) and I walk to my work. Once I am there, I go to the lab and start my experiments. I love having a coffee break around 10 am, where I can catch up with my friends and talk about life in general. We meet again for lunch. Everyone sits together at a massive table in the cafeteria. I also have loads of meetings where people present their work and I give updates about my last findings. I leave work around 5 pm and go straight to the gym for around 1 hour. When I get home I am very tired, so all I want to do is have dinner and watch something on my TV.
