My PhD seeks to improve on how we measure genetic risk for poor mental health. I have degrees in Applied Biomedical Science and Bioinformatics, and fifteen years’ laboratory experience. I enjoyed catching up with former colleagues and suppliers at the festival, and hearing from a wide range of speakers from sectors I am considering for future employment, such as research and data curation.
