Multi-layered bacterial genome defences

Stuart McQuarrie, University of St Andrews


Stuart (he/him) is a PhD student at the University of St Andrews with Prof Malcolm F White and is associated with the MultiDefence project.

He commenced his PhD in 2023 after working as a crystallography research assistant for 4 years. He will be using biochemical and structural techniques to characterise CBASS proteins. A big hobby of his is climbing. He managed to get a few colleagues into it, and now they climb every week after work. His other passion is hip hop dancing, but he hasn’t quite managed to convince anyone to join him at that yet! Connect with Stuart on @Stuart_McQ.
