Sarah Hand

I curate the news and blog content for Xtalks.com and ensure features are tailored to current issues and trends in the life science, medical device and food industries.

I have completed my degree in a laboratory run by Dr. Ian Tetlow and Dr. Michael Emes. My project focused on the biosynthesis of starch in maize and the coordinated action of the multiple enzymes involved in this process.

I studied a wide variety of topics during my Bachelor's degree including human, plant and bacterial genetics. Through lab-based courses and multiple research assistantships I became proficient in molecular and biochemical laboratory techniques.
