Biography

Frankie obtained her Master of Chemistry degree from the University of Liverpool, UK, and completed her PhD in Medicinal Chemistry under the supervision of Dr Craig Jamieson at The University of Strathclyde, UK. She continued research as a Chemical Biology Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery (CICBDD) at UNC under the supervision of Prof Stephen Frye and Prof Lindsey James. Postdoctoral research focused on the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) for epigenetic regulators such as Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2).
