A novel method for sensitive detection of specific RNA sequences.

About me

Hi, I am Franklin, a second year Biological Sciences student at the University of Edinburgh. During my internship in the French lab, I was able to work with a very interesting project to detect RNA with high sensitivity. If this novel method works, it would allow us to detect viruses and bacteria that are difficult to identify with the current techniques. 

I was also working with Felipe on his projects which are very exciting and innovative.  People in the French lab are helpful and it was a pleasure working with these amazing, leading scientists.
