Research associate, University of Bristol
I am currently engaged in developing human gene therapy at the University of Bristol. My research goal leverages on my gene editing expertise to develop a viral vehicle for safely and effectively administering therapeutic agents to treat human genetic diseases. I previously worked at the University of Edinburgh where I was involved in developing the application of gene editing technology in chickens with a particular focus on producing resistance to bird flu. I also have an interest in using machine learning and artificial intelligence to study how proteins can be engineered to treat animal and human diseases.

Recent advances in gene editing technology could potentially be used to create disease-resistant animals. This could curtail the spread of avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu. In a recent gene editing study, my...
