Biography
Jack is a current final year PhD student who is self-taught in three coding languages; SQL, unix, and recently Python. Jack's PhD work focuses on identifying genomic instability in human infertility, utilising a novel SQL database Jack has designed.
Throughout their academic work, Jack has given guest lectures and laboratory support for multiple undergraduate units e.g., Advance Topics in Genetics, Advance Immunology, and Cell Biology. This also includes various academic positions each semester, primarily in Genetics. Others include but not limited to Introduction to Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Advance Immunology. Furthermore, Jack has advised for and supported undergraduate dissertations. The first dissertation is where the work investigated the effect of antibiotics in the environment (Academic Year 2018-2019). The second undergraduate dissertation focused on gene expression in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome using cell lines, and this student achieved a first class grade (Academic Year 2022-2023)... Currently Jack is advising for a Masters by Research thesis in Human Genetics and Bioinformatics (Academic year 2023-2024). Jack has also taught other postgraduate research students SQL coding to support their work and data management.
Jack's research interests lay within the following research areas; human genomics, bioinformatics, immunology, and cell biology.
