Grace Pennelli

I was awarded my undergraduate BSc in Pharmacology from University of Portsmouth in 2020 and then a Masters of Research in 2022. Since then, I am a researcher within The Quantum Biology and Bioenergetic Lab, part of the Research Center for Optimal Health. I work predominantly on the effect of blue light on mitochondrial function, funded by The Guy Foundation Trust. 

I investigate the biological effects of specific light wavelengths, particularly blue and near-infrared light, on cellular and systemic health. Techniques involved in my project include using Seahorse XF Metabolic Analyser for real-time bioenergetic profiling, Fluorescence based tagging assays, Microscopy using the EVOS Cell Imaging System for high-resolution imaging.
