Phoebe Reid

Profile

I am a Phd student in the Molecular and Nanoscale Physics department. I am under the supervision of Prof. Lorna Dougan and Prof. David Brockwell, working on developing mechanophores for detecting and measuring force propagation in protein based hydrogels. My interests are in protein dynamics in hydrogels at the mesoscale, working towards determining the forces experienced by gels in situ in hydrogels.

I studied at the Universities of Salford and Toledo, Ohio, for my undergraduate BSc Hons in Biochemistry, in which I focussed on the kinetics of the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) homolog present in Shewanella frigidimarina bacteria.

Qualifications

• Bsc Hons Biochemistry with Studies in the USA
