Daisy Pendergast
Research Assistant
Daisy joined the lab to work with Dr Christina Heroven on her Wellcome funded project using protein engineering to recruit receptor phosphatases to Receptor Tyrosine Kinases to inhibit oncogenic signalling.
In 2024, she received an integrated master's degree in biochemistry from St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford. In her final year, she completed her Part II project in the Higgins Lab, where she structurally and biophysically characterised the interactions between malarial surface antigens and human inhibitory immune receptors.
