Lynn Asante-Asare was a PhD student at St John’s College, University of Cambridge, and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute [1]
Lynn chose to pursue a degree in cancer research after a close friend died of leukemia several years ago[2]. She completed a Bachelor's degree in biomedical science at the University of Warwick and then moved to Cambridge to pursue a PhD in cancer biology. Her project made use of bioorthogonal chemistry to detect differential sialyation and N-acetylgalactosamine glycosylation of proteins from a range of human cell lines representing different stages of cancer progression, with the goal of identifying differential glycosylation as markers for monitoring prostate and breast cancer progression.[3]
Lynn participated in the ‘Sponsor a PhD researcher’ scheme.[4]
