Before I moved away from active/lab research, I published and contributed to some:

PhD Thesis

Investigating the effects of Chromosome 21 genes on pathological angiogenesis
(2012)

Since people—usually annoying internet men—sometimes ask for “proof” I have a doctorate. There you go, knock yourself out.

You can read about some of these subjects in this series over at Cancer Research UK, which I wrote some of the pieces for, which hopefully makes some sense regardless of your background!

I wrote a legend to accompany this pretty image (taken by my supervisor) that we submitted for a JBC cover, successfully!

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) assay. This assay involves depriving the retinal tissue of oxygen to induce angiogenic responses to hypoxia (activation of quiescent blood vessels)…
