Biography
Researcher Biography
I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University. My research is focused on investigating the antibacterial properties of human salivary histatin peptides against oral bacteria. Additionally, I am investigating how copper and zinc binding to histatins mediate these antibacterial properties. I started this PhD project in October 2023 after completing my Msci in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Birmingham where I specialised in microbiology.
