Bethan has worked on the cloning of genes from a fungus into yeast to study gene function; using bioinformatics to study evolutionary selection in the human genome and into circadian clock genetics in plants. For her PhD Bethan identified a mutant in the crop plant maize, and identified the function of the underlying gene and studied the genetic errors within this mutant. She is currently researching the molecular machinery required for RNA silencing in a species of fungus at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge. She carries out a lot of next generation sequencing of the genomes of fungal organisms, as well as sequencing RNA molecules.

Francis specialises in immunology and oncology. Prior to starting his PhD (University of Cambridge), he worked for several years as a scientist in various clinical research organisations, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. His current research explores how the immune system is regulated in health and dysregulated in diseases, such as autoimmunity and cancer.

Robert specialises in Biotechnology, Biomedical Science, Machine Learning and Bioinformatics. He has contributed to a a computer-aided drug design project, using virtual screening to develop 15 compounds for testing to be inhibitors for an enzyme named NAAA. Currently, Robert’s working on developing compounds that could be dual inhibitors of the dopamine D3 receptor and PPR-alpha receptor. His aim is to combine various generative machine learning techniques to make these compounds.

Sally is part of a research team of medical sociologists at the University of Cambridge who study diagnostic innovation in the realm of oncology. Alongside her research work, Sally works uses her multidisciplinary background to tutor a wide range of students ranging from as young as 6 to as old as 28, both one-to-one and small groups. Her specialties include Biology, Chemistry, English, French and standardized test prep (SAT, SATII, ACT, ISEE, GRE).

After completing his PhD at the University of Cambridge, Saroj stayed on in the Department of Pharmacology as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, researching the molecular mechanisms of drug transport by the human Breast Cancer Resistance protein alongside his teaching duties. Saroj is currently the Director of SKV Consultants Ltd., a biotech start-up company. His eventual ambition is to develop a state-of-the-art breast cancer diagnostic test. He also continues to teach, striving to effectively engage with students from different backgrounds.
