Biography

Gabrielle Mills is a first year, probationary PhD student at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.  A 2019 Gates Cambridge Scholar, she has a passion for developing technologies that reduce the burden of infectious disease within global communities. Her previous research includes the development of a zebrafish model for epileptic encephalopathy, a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intractable seizures, and the novel discovery of an anti-epileptic drug to treat the condition.  Her future research at the University of Cambridge will involve the design of immunotherapies and diagnostics for Clostridioides difficile.
