Dr Lapatrada Taemaitree

Post-doctoral researcher (2014-)

Lapatrada completed her undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry at University of Oxford (2014). Her project in the final year was the study of the FtsK gamma subdomain as a smart controller of DNA translocase activity under the supervision of Prof David Sherratt. She then joined the Brown group as a DPhil student, where she focussed on genome editing and diagnostic applications using chemically modified CRISPR-Cas guide RNAs. After successfully defending her thesis (January 2019), she stayed in the group as a post-doctoral researcher with the aim of addressing the exciting findings she made and developing further CRISPR and diagnostic applications.
