Jaymie Coates

Lab Assistant

Jaymie joined The Ralph in 2022 as a Laboratory Technician. She graduated in 2013 with a BSc in Forensic Science and shortly after this joined a laboratory team within a large veterinary referral hospital, where she worked for almost 8 years gaining experience across multiple disciplines, including microbiology, biochemistry, and flow cytometry. During this time, she developed a keen interest in haematology, in particular blood film morphology, and as a result she is currently studying for a Master’s in Haematology to expand her knowledge.

Outside of work Jaymie lives with her partner and their 15-year-old rescue Chihuahua, Chilli Pepper, who is loved dearly despite his grumpiness. In her spare time, Jaymie enjoys swimming (especially open water swimming during the summer but is known to take the plunge during colder weather too!), archery and playing dungeons and dragons with friends.
