Post-doctoral researcher (2014-2015)
Joanna obtained a MChem Degree from the University of Oxford. In 2009 she completed her D.Phil. entitled “Probing sugar-plant-soil signaling” at the University of Oxford with Professor Ben Davis. Joanna then worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Professor Benedikt Kessler in the Department of Medicine, where she created novel ubiquitin-based covalent capture probes and developed inhibitor screening assays. Joanna joined the Brown group in 2014 where her research focused on the study of DNA cross-link repair enzymes, developing assays to study their selectivity and for inhibitor screening. In 2016, Joanna moved to Trinity College Dublin to take up an Assistant Professorship in Chemistry.
