Raine Mercedes

PhD Student

The University of Queensland

Raine's research focuses on characterising coagulotoxins in the saliva of native Australian blood-feeding arthropods. She hopes to identify novel anticoagulant peptides, which could also be used for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Outside of the lab, she enjoys hanging out with animals and watching horror movies.
