About Issie

I am a PhD-qualified biomedical scientist, postdoctoral researcher, university lecturer and experienced academic mentor, with a strong track record in higher education, scientific research and postgraduate academic support.

I hold a PhD in Molecular Therapies for Cystic Fibrosis from City St George’s, University of London, where my research focused on gene editing, molecular therapeutics and translational approaches to treating disease. I also hold a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Science from Royal Holloway, University of London, alongside postgraduate training in Stem Cell & Regenerative Therapies at King’s College London.

I currently work at postdoctoral research level, leading translational research projects in molecular therapeutics and airway gene editing. My research has involved sophisticated experimental design, gene-editing technologies, quantitative imaging, data analysis and collaboration across leading academic institutions including The Francis Crick Institute, UCL, City St George’s and KUMC. I have also secured an £11,000 competitive Research Pump Priming Award as Lead Applicant, demonstrating my ability to develop research proposals, manage projects and deliver research objectives.

My academic profile is supported by peer-reviewed publication and international conference experience. My research has been published in Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, with further manuscripts under review in Nature Methods and AJP Cell. I have presented my research at national and international conferences and have received awards recognising excellence in both oral and poster scientific presentations.

Alongside my research career, I have extensive university teaching and student supervision experience. At City St George’s, University of London, I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate students across MBBS, MPharm, Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Physiology programmes, facilitating case-based learning, laboratory teaching and academic mentoring. I have also worked as a guest lecturer for MSc Biotechnology and MSc Medical Biotechnology students at the University of Portsmouth.

Importantly, I have direct experience supervising and assessing dissertations and research projects. As a postdoctoral researcher, I have supervised BSc and MSc research projects from project conception and experimental design through laboratory training, data analysis and dissertation preparation. I have also assisted with the assessment and marking of undergraduate and Master's dissertations, providing constructive feedback in accordance with university marking criteria.

This means I understand dissertations from both sides of the process: as a researcher who has completed a PhD and published scientific research, and as an academic who has supervised, supported and assessed student research.

Viva Preparation & Support

Finished your thesis but worried about the viva?
I can help you prepare strategically so that you understand your research inside-out and can discuss it confidently under questioning.
Viva support can include:
Understanding what examiners are looking for
Identifying the key arguments and contributions of your thesis
Preparing for likely examiner questions
Discussing your research methodology and methodological choices
Defending your theoretical framework and research design
Explaining and defending your findings
Discussing the strengths and limitations of your research
Preparing to explain your original contribution
Identifying potential weaknesses or areas examiners may challenge
Developing clear, concise academic answers
Mock viva sessions with realistic questioning
Practising how to handle difficult or unexpected questions
Building confidence and reducing viva anxiety
Reviewing examiner feedback and preparing for corrections or revisions

Support At Every Stage
Just starting?
We'll develop your research idea, question and a practical plan.
In the middle of your project?
We'll identify what's holding you back and create a clear route forward.
Approaching submission?
We'll focus on strengthening your argument, structure, writing and overall presentation.
Submitted and preparing for your viva?
We'll conduct focused preparation and mock questioning so you can confidently explain, defend and discuss your research.

A Personalised Approach
Every dissertation and thesis is different. My sessions are therefore tailored to your subject, academic level, research question, university requirements and stage of study.
Rather than providing generic advice, we'll work directly with your research and existing materials to identify what needs attention and how you can improve it.
My goal is to help you develop your own academic thinking, understand your research deeply and communicate it with confidence.

Online One-to-One Support
Sessions are conducted online and can be arranged around your schedule.
You can book a single session to address a specific problem, arrange a series of sessions throughout your dissertation, or undertake focused viva preparation closer to your defence.
Message me with your subject, degree level, research topic (if you have one), and where you are in the process — and we can work out the best approach for you.

From your first research question to your final viva — get expert support at every stage of your academic journey.
