Alyssa Turney

I am a recent graduate from the University of Kent, where I earned my MSc degree in Biomedicine. Throughout my academic journey, I have been deeply passionate about cancer research, a field that has captivated me since my first undergraduate course in cancer biology. My master’s dissertation focused on the innovative development of sortase-mediated conjugation for the production of anti-Her2 nanobody conjugates, showcasing my commitment to advancing therapeutic strategies. With a robust foundation in biomedicine and hands-on experience in cutting-edge research, I am eager to contribute to the fight against cancer and make a meaningful impact in this critical field.

Experience in academic and healthcare support roles, including the development and optimization of advanced biochemical methods, facilitating small group discussions, and assisting students in laboratory settings. As an academic assistant, effectively supported educational activities through training, evaluation, and conducting interactive sessions. In healthcare, contributed significantly to patient care and facility maintenance as an environmental service associate, ensuring a clean, safe, and well-supplied environment. Demonstrated strong problem-solving, analytical, and collaborative skills across diverse work environments.

I recently completed my MSc in Biomedicine at the University of Kent. My dissertation focused on developing sortase-mediated conjugation techniques for producing anti-Her2 nanobody conjugates. This advanced research has equipped me with in-depth knowledge and practical experience in cancer research and therapeutic development.
