I am currently undertaking an integrated Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Genetics with the University of Glasgow, where I have a special interest in evolutionary genetics and genomics. As part of my degree programme, I am researching the evolution of desert rodents in Northern Africa. I am currently working on the differential expression seen in dorsal skin tissue between two Jaculus species to investigate the relationship between speciation, geography, colouration, and the expression of pigmentation-related genes
