Engineering Biology in Cambridge

 

Chris is a PhD Student on the BBSRC DTP PhD Programme, in the James Locke Group at the Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University, where he conducts research on cyanobacteria at the interface of systems biology, synthetic biology and chronobiology.

At the University, he is also involved in leading student initiatives in synthetic biology, serving as the President of the Cambridge University Synthetic Biology Society and taking a key role in the relaunch, organisation and instruction of the Cambridge iGEM Team.

Prior to commencing his PhD studies, Chris completed his undergraduate degree at Imperial College London, where he was a member of the Imperial iGEM Team and co-founder of SynBIC, the Imperial College London Synthetic Biology Society. He also undertook several years in both academia and industry, gaining a firm appreciation for the power of academic research and its industrial translation to make a positive impact on the world.
