Qualification:
Helena Keaveney was born and bred in Yoker (Glasgow) as anyone could tell by her lovely weegie accent. Helena obtained her MChem from Strathclyde University in 2020, during which she studied the use of polymeric nanoparticles to enhance the drug solubility of drug prednisolone for oral administration in paediatric patients, under the supervision of Dr. Clare Hoskins. She started working at Almac, manufacturing anti cancer and covid 19 vaccines where she gained experience in solid phase peptide synthesis. Her skills are now at good use in the Burley group where her PhD research focuses on the development of next-generation cell penetrating peptides for selective delivery of therapeutics.

Current position:
Her universal nickname is HK but she sometimes goes by Yoker – hardly anyone knows who “Helena” is. She was a Scottish judo champion. The legend says she washes in the Clyde river – the authors of this bio can’t confirm nor deny.
