My Science

I hold MRC CASE studentship with AstraZeneca and in the Faculty of Life Sciences based at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. My Phd research project is concentrated on understanding the Ras:Sos system that is key to the creation of new anti-cancer therapies. I am interested in examining and characterising the molecular interactions of the Ras:Sos system by various biophysical methods and computer-assisted data analysis in addition to the expression and purification of these proteins.

FutureLearn course: Inside cancer: how genes influence cancer development

Hi everyone

First of all, I would like to wish those who have been following my blog a happy new year. May 2014 bring you good fortune, health and laughter.

What a way to kick start a new year by promising yourself to learn something new. I happen to have found a cool learning website which has a list of free online courses ran by many of the UK top's universities. A course that has attracted my attention is Inside cancer: how genes influence cancer development.

The course starts on 20th January 2014 for 6 weeks, 3 hours per week. It is an ideal introduction for those interested in understanding how genetics influences the development and spread of cancer. I have registered for this course so why not join me and learn something interesting.
