A very warm welcome to Dr Eleanor Taylor-Newman to the Kawamura Research Group, where she joins as an EPSRC Postdoctoral Pathway Fellowship.
Eleanor graduated with an MChem degree from the University of Leicester , including a placement year at AstraZeneca and a research project with Dr Richard Doveston. She then worked as a peptide scientist at Almac Sciences before beginning her PhD in 2021 at Durham University through the MoSMed CDT programme, under the supervision of Prof. Steven Cobb and in collaboration with Dr Graham Taylor (University of Birmingham). Her doctoral research focused on the synthesis and evaluation of ligands and PROTACs targeting Epstein–Barr Nuclear Antigen 1.
In the Kawamura Group, Eleanor will be applying mRNA display to identify peptide binders against target RNA. Welcome to the group, Eleanor!
