Miss Hannah Baird

Overview

I am an EPSRC funded Physics of Life PhD student, working as a part of the Castell Lab in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

My research focusses on exploring the role, function and structure of bilayer pores that form in bacterial membranes, caused by synergistic antimicrobial peptides Mag2 and PGLa. Using physical techniques, such as electrophysiology, TIRF microscopy and FRET microscopy, I hope to delve into pore characterisation at the single-molecule level.
