Biography
Katie received her PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Oxford in 2008 studying carbohydrate chemistry. She then moved to The Scripps Research Institute, California for her postdoctoral studies to work with Dennis Burton where she studied HIV glycobiology and HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies. In June 2013, Katie was awarded an MRC Career Development Award and moved to King’s College London to start her research lab.
In 2017 Katie was selected as a member of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme. Katie was awarded the Medical Research Foundation Emerging Leaders Prize for COVID-19 (2021). In 2023, Katie was named as the Biological Sciences Laureate at the Blavatnik Awards for young scientists in the UK.
