Experience

Ruby graduated in 2023 with a first class Master's degree in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford, where she was awarded scholarships and academic prizes in recognition of her performance. She since joined HGF in January 2025 as a Trainee Patent Attorney in the Life Science team.

She has a broad technical background, having studied genetics, molecular & cellular biology, metabolic processes, macromolecular structures, drug design, chemical pharmacology, bacterial warfare, antibiotic resistance, and biochemical methods.

During her Master's, Ruby conducted a research project in Neurobiology at the Szele Lab, University of Oxford. Here she explored the role of tumour-associated lncRNAs in neural migration using a range of in-vitro and in-vivo gene editing techniques. In the same year, she completed a comprehensive review of β2-adrenoreceptor signaling in skeletal muscle, offering insights into its therapeutic potential for glucometabolic regulation in type 2 diabetes.

Ruby's particular interests and expertise lie in human metabolism, cellular signaling, cancer biology, and disease pathogenesis at the molecular and cellular level.
