I joined the Quinn group as a postdoctoral research assistant in October 2023. I will be using chirped GMR sensors to detect the biological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease in blood samples. If the technique is sensitive enough, this will allow for the development of low-cost, point-of-care diagnostic tools for the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. 

I am a PhD student studying DNA segregation in bacterial plasmids. I will be using FRET microscopy techniques to better understand how key proteins in the segregation complex interact at the single-molecule level. Outside of research I am an avid photographer and enjoy playing basketball and rock climbing.

Ella is a PhD student studying RNA pseudoknot dynamics using single-molecule FRET spectroscopy.

Anna is studying towards the BSc degree in Physics. Anna's project involves the development of new biophysical tools for quantifying membrane perturbation. 

James is studying towards the BSc degree in Physics. James' project involves the development of new biophysical tools for quantifying membrane perturbation.
