About Polina Foteva
Hi, I'm Polina and I'm a Biochemstry student at the University of St Andrews. I am interested in the properties of enzymes and mechanism of biocatalysis. It is really exciting to be part of the Laidlaw Network. I had the most amazing summer in my life last year, doing research in MacNeill Lab, St Andrews. Looking forward to my second summer as a Scholar, which I will spend volunteering in Ghana.

Laidlaw Reflections: Some secrets from the lab
These six weeks passed too fast! I achieved my principal research aim, but, not to my surprise, a lot of questions remained unanswered. I will leave the scientific details for my final report and just share some ‘backstage’ scenes from the lab here.
