Personal profile

Profile

Sarah Davey is a third-year PhD student with the Barrett Centre for Helminth Control at IBERS, Aberystwyth. Her research project is “repositioning histone modification enzyme (HME) inhibitors as next-generation flukicides”, supervised jointly between Aberystwyth University (Prof. Karl Hoffmann and Dr. Iain Chalmers) and Queens University (Prof. Aaron Maule) as part of the first cohort of FoodBioSystems DTP students. Her research interests include epigenetics (specifically histone modification), molecular biology, bioinformatics, ‘omics tech, artificial intelligence, automated diagnostics and classical parasitology.

Sarah previously graduated from Aberystwyth University with a first BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Biosciences and was awarded WVSC’s prize for Best Performance in Veterinary Biosciences and the Director’s Prize for Best Undergraduate Dissertation. She also recently completed an MRes in Parasite Control, with a research focus in characterising the CD59-like proteins of Fasciola gigantica and Fasciola hepatica, for which she received the Graduate School Prize for Best Performance.
