Read moreJess received her BSc. in Chemistry from University College Cork in 2006. PhD studies in Medical Sciences were carried out under the supervision of Prof. Ian R. Booth and Dr Stuart Conway at the University of Aberdeen. This involved the development of small molecule probes targeting a bacterial potassium efflux system, Kef, to investigate the molecular mechanism of activation and to validate it as a target for the development of novel antibacterial agents. Subsequent postdoctoral work, continuing this research, was carried in Dr Stuart Conway’s laboratory at the University of Oxford. Jess was appointed as an Excellence Career Fellow in Pharmaceutical Chemical Biology at the UCL School of Pharmacy in September 2013.
