Introduction

 I am an ​NIH - Wellcome Trust PhD scholar currently working at the National Eye Institute in Dr. Anand Swaroop's group, where my focus is to identify and characterise proteins believed to be important for visual function. My research has lead me to study a previously understudied protein which functions in the mitochondria, the primary site of energy production.  The aim of my PhD is to understand fully the role this protein plays in metabolism, and its possible role in disease.
