She is from the North East of England and, before moving to Dundee, she trained as a cancer cell biologist at Newcastle University for 8 years. Claire has an MSc in Biomedical Sciences, an MRes in Cell and Molecular Biosciences and a PhD in Cell Signalling. Her MSc project with Dr Christopher Redfern explored the role of cyclooxygenase 2 in neuroblastoma migration and invasion. During her MRes\/PhD with Dr Timothy Cheek, she investigated phenotype-specific differentiation responses within neuroblastoma populations and associated changes in the store-operated calcium entry pathway. She joined the AC-BI team to contribute towards developing an exciting new technology into a drug and therefore gain valuable experience of strategies in drug discovery and development as well as exposure to a multidisciplinary research environment. Outside of the lab she has many hobbies including reading, drawing, fitness activities, socialising and exploring the world!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree(s) MSc in Biomedical Sciences (2011), Newcastle University MRes in Cell and Molecular Biosciences (2012), Newcastle University PhD in Cell Signalling (2016), Newcastle University Profile Past Member To and From Dates: November 2016 \u2013 May 2022 Past Member Current Position: Senior Scientist at Mironid Claire joined the Ciulli group as a cell biologist to develop [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":575,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1322","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4581,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1322\/revisions\/4581"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciulli\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
