Susannah Parkhill
BSc 2020 – Natural Sciences (Biology and Chemistry), Durham University
MPhil 2021 – Biochemistry, University of Cambridge
During my MPhil I characterised the function and transcriptional regulation of four genes involved in glyoxylate and allantoin metabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
PhD – Francis Crick Institute
Over the course of my PhD I will investigate genetic vulnerability and gene-gene interaction networks to understand evolutionary constraints in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Hobbies Outside the lab, I enjoy getting involved with public engagement, baking, and running.
Join our team!
The excitement of scientific inquiry and the opportunities of scientific training should be accessible to and include people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and aspirations. We strongly encourage applications from members of groups which are under-represented in science.
