Sibyl completed her Natural Sciences MSci with Joint Honours in Biology & Chemistry at the University of Durham. She went on to study for a PhD at the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich working on the structural characterisation of a protein drug target from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and screening for small molecule inhibitors. She then joined the lab of Prof Barrie Wilkinson at the JIC as a Post-Doc, studying the chemical characterisation, biosynthesis and molecular targets of bacterial specialised metabolites.

​

At Bactobio, Sibyl works within the Compound Discovery Team, purifying and characterising novel bioactive metabolites.

Outside the lab, Sibyl enjoys travel, experimental cooking and keeping active.
