I am a PhD student at the University of Adelaide, currently working in the laboratory of Professor Andrea Yool. My research focuses on developing novel approaches to monitor and inhibit glioblastoma (GBM) cell invasion. Specifically, my project explores the use of the voltage-sensitive dye BeRST 1 to image real-time membrane potential responses in GBM cells. This work aims to identify the mechanisms of action of small-molecule compounds that inhibit GBM invasion, providing new insights into non-cytotoxic therapeutic strategies.I completed my Honours degree in 2024 with First Class Honours in the laboratory of Associate Professor Michael Lardelli. My Honours project investigated whether zebrafish are capable of producing amyloid beta (Aβ) protein, contributing to the evaluation of zebrafish as a model for Alzheimer's disease research.My research interests span cancer cell electrophysiology, neuro-oncology, and imaging technologies for therapeutic screening.
