Biology is a powerful science that becomes more and more influential as time passes. Biology allows for us not only to understand the world around us better but also helps us understand what goes on within our own bodies. Having studied Biology at the University of Edinburgh, I am incredibly passionate about the subject. Currently I am pursuing my research Masters degree in Biochemistry, working closely with protein design. I believe research is incredibly thrilling and learning about new research techniques and ideas feels like having a cookbook you can cook something fun and novel out of everyday! I would love to share my passion for Biology with you!

About Me

I am a focused Biochemistry Masters student at the University of Edinburgh. I strongly focus on research and believe in giving students a plethora of resources to finetune and hone their understanding of biology and biological research techniques. I believe in reading papers to better understand biological phenomena and research techniques, therefore, a lot of my focus tends to be on giving tips to better read papers. I also did IB and IGCSE Biology, therefore I am very familiar with resources regarding that as well as exam preparation. I also can help students improve their IAs (internal assessments) and for IB the extended essay!
