| Introduction | I'm an masters (MPhil) student in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. I'm working with Dr. Robert Best to investigate using simplified models how the folding pathways of proteins are influenced by mechanical forces and chemical denaturants. Next year, I will return to the United States to do a Ph.D. in Systems Biology at Harvard University. |
