Sarah Graham
Sarah is a PhD student in the University of York Physics of Life group supervised by Steven Quinn and Mark Leake. She is studying the effects of molecular crowding and other environmental changes on biomolecules using single-molecule FRET microscopy techniques. Specifically work so far has focused on DNA hairpins and their opening and closing dynamics and the SARS-CoV-2 pseudoknot which acts as the stimulatory sequence for frameshifting in the virus.
