I live and work in Birmimgham at a large hospital. I’m a qualified doctor and a microbiologist. I spend my time treating patients with antibiotics as well as growing bugs in the lab. I love technology and I try to think of ways that machines can help us work in the laboratory.

My Typical Day:

My job involves looking at patients with infections, then looking at the bugs we grow from them and treating them with antibiotics. The best way to treat an infection is not to get it in the first place!

What I'd do with the prize money:
We must get the message out there about antibiotic resistance. I would like to engage more with the public and schools.
