# The Babraham Institute

> The Babraham Institute is a life science research institute dedicated to making the fundamental discoveries needed to maintain health and improve wellbeing throughout life.

I did my PhD and Postdoc at Babraham, starting off working in the lab and transitioning to bioinformatics during that time.
I was associated with the University of Cambridge throughout my time at Babraham.

## Positions held

- **Postdoctoral Researcher** (Oct 2012 - May 2014) — Bioinformatician working in Wolf Reik's research group, embedded within the Babraham Bioinformatics core bioinformatics group.
- **PhD Student** (Sept 2008 - Sept 2012) — PhD student supervised by Cameron Osborne, working in the Epigenetics department. I studied the three-dimensional organisation of chromatin within the mammalian cell nucleus.
