BSc Chemistry

PhD Bioengineering
Imperial College London

Connor recently completed his PhD in Bioengineering at Imperial College, where he developed a minimally invasive diagnostic device for skin cancer. The technology uses a hydrogel-coated microneedle patch to sample skin interstitial fluid and detect tumor-derived miRNA electrochemically. Before his PhD, Connor spent some time at a biotech company in Oxford during the pandemic, producing the oligonucleotides used to make lateral flow assays. Outside of work, you can find Connor on the court playing basketball with the London Knights, an LGBTQ+ team. He is also an avid reader, a monthly book club regular, and is learning Spanish with weekly lessons.
