      I’m normally in the lab from around 9 (mornings are hard 🙁 ) until about 5 or 6, everyday, Monday to Friday.

      Hi Zain sattar.

      I don’t have a lab per se, only a desk and a computer. That means I can work from anywhere and very often I run away to the library or a cafe or just stay at home working, for a change of scenery.

      I work 9:30-10 to 17:30-18 usually (with some breaks, of course!). Not all of this time is productive though: a lot of it is spent replying to emails and other accessory tasks…

      Sometimes a few hours…sometimes 14-15! It depends what I need to do. Working with living cells means that you need to be willing to sacrifice your free time when then need you!
