Sandy obtained a biochemistry degree and gained her PhD from the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch working on the role of actin in hyphal-tip growth in the Transmembrane protein lab.
After a three year Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biophysics at the Structural Nanomechanics Lab at the Dalhousie University in Canada, she has returned to NZ to take up a postdoc position at Massey University working on a MacDiarmid and Riddet Institute Funded project: Investigating the Mesocule; working alongside Luigi, Christina, and Pablo.
In her previous work she has collaborated with both the Curie Institue in France and the FOM Institute AMOLF in the Netherlands, studying Actin Comets and developing AFM techniques for measuring their viscoelasticity.
She is also a big fan of Manchester Utd and of Bill’s most-excellent laboratory skills.
