Through various modules I have developed a wide range of laboratory skills and techniques including:

• Critical evaluation of advanced research and experimental techniques.

• Autonomously designing experiments and carrying out good laboratory practice to a professional standard.

• Evaluation of health and safety considerations required legally for experimentation.
• Extraction, isolation and evaluation of natural product constituents.

• Synthesis of small molecule inhibitors of MMP 10.
• Separation and analytical techniques including GC, NMR, HPLC and MS.
• Practical experience in microscopy and cell culture and molecular biology techniques including gel electrophoresis
