Junior Research Fellow

Postdoctoral Researcher, NDM

DPhil (Oxford); Staatsexamen Pharmazie (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich); Licensure as Pharmacist (Government of Upper Bavaria)

Mira is currently investigating peptides as molecular Trojan horses to shuttle drugs across the blood brain barrier. As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Oxford Drug Discovery Institute (ODDI) assay development team led by Dr Emma Murphy, she uses phage-display library screens in combination with biophysical and cell-based models to identify novel peptide shuttles for the delivery of therapeutics for Alzheimer’s Disease. Previously, she obtained a DPhil in Clinical Medicine in the field of chemical biology and targeted protein degradation under co-supervision of Prof Paul Brennan and Dr Kilian Huber. Mira graduated from the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich as a licensed Pharmacist and is interested in drug discovery and the development of novel therapeutics.
