Suki Sun holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London, where she developed expertise in fundamental neuroscience concepts and laboratory techniques. During her undergraduate studies, she contributed to multidisciplinary research investigating the role of microglia in neuroinflammation and schizophrenia, successfully characterizing iPSC-derived microglia. Following her undergraduate studies, Suki shifted her academic focus to Clinical Psychiatry and earned a Master’s degree from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King’s College London. She gained valuable clinical experience through placements in the Clinical Liaison Department at St. Thomas Hospital, London, and worked alongside neurology practitioners at Maudsley Hospital, London.With a strong foundation in both laboratory and clinical settings, as well as proficiency in English communication, Suki joined the Rinkevich Lab after a year of experience at the Department of Lab and Asset Management. Her role centers on bridging communication and collaboration between the lab, CIMR’s administrative divisions, and clinical collaborators.
