Santa Walker

Santa Walker is a PhD student at the Earlham Institute and University of East Anglia, funded by the Norwich Research Park Doctoral Training Partnership (NRPDTP), researching a micro-algae (Euglena) that has cool biotechnology applications.

Santa recently swapped out microalgae for macroalgae and joined the innovation team at Hethel Innovation to support the development of the Algae Innovation Platform (AIP), helping shape its strategy and funding pathway going forward. She is here on placement for just 13 weeks, until mid-May.
