Abcam
Abcam started with a simple mission: to provide the best biological reagents to life scientists worldwide. Today, we help 750,000 researchers in over 130 countries deliver faster breakthroughs in areas like cancer, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and metabolic disorders. I am the Program Lead for the Machine Learning and Bioinformatics Team. I am responsible for driving the successful delivery of AI-enabled solutions. I spearhead program strategy, oversee end-to-end execution, and ensure alignment with organisational goals.
The variety of the work, every day is different, which means I am always learning. I love meeting with so many inspiring and intelligent individuals.
I have a lot of meetings to discuss progress, follow up on tasks, and ask loads of questions all to to ensure that we remain on track.
I studied Materials Science and Engineering. I enjoyed the Maths and Engineering aspect of it. First, I worked in Finance, then moved to Business Planning, this was in my search for a job that stimulated my interest. Whilst working in Business Planning I discovered Program Management, and realised it provided the variety that I wanted in a career.
I will encourage the young to go into STEM. I want to be able to inspire and see the young people that I empower go on to do great things.
I enjoy baking. I moved house so I am more into the gardening, planting flowers, and staging the garden. I also enjoy exercising, yoga, and cycling.
“With hardship comes ease” ~ Holy Quran, verse 94:5 I find the quote inspiring. It reminds me that nothing lasts forever. Bad times come and go we just need to ride that wave until things settle again.
