I am a final year student on the MSc in Bioinformatics programme at the University of Copenhagen (KU). I am currently undertaking my Master thesis project here at CBL. My background and interests are firmly rooted in chemistry and the biological sciences. I obtained my BSc in 2011 from the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.

My MSc thesis project is in the area of structural bioinformatics and is focusing on redox post- modifications of cysteines. The project aims to better elucidate the mechanisms of this post-translational modifications. Findings of this project are of particular interest to the Danish Cancer Research Center because it is known, for example, that abnormal S-nitrosylation is implicated in cancer development and progression.

So far, I am really enjoying my time here - CBL research group is a fresh, supportive and motivated environment to work in and I am learning so much from the people around me.
