Jeremy graduated with his BSc(Hons) in Anatomy in 2016 and started his PhD in 2017. His research project is investigating the influence of steroid hormones and puberty on gene expression in the mouse spinal cord, with the goal of understanding how puberty-associated hormonal changes may influence the progression of spinal disorders such as scoliosis.
Jeremy was awarded a University of Otago Doctoral Scholarship in 2017. Jeremy is also a demonstrator for Anatomy 200 and 300 level courses.
