Hi, I'm Aaryn! I completed my BSc in Biological Sciences at Durham University and I am now at St Andrews for an MSc by research in Biology! I completed my research project in summer 2024, with a Leadership in Action project in Boston, summer 2025. My research project focused on the regulation of stem cells in model organism Drosophila melanogaster (common fruit flies) specifically investigating genes linked to cancer in humans and my LiA was with the Timothy Smith Network. I am particularly interested in genetics and disease, and I would like to pursue a career in research.
