Morgan grew up in Falkirk, Scotland, before moving to Edinburgh to study Medicinal and Biological Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh. For the final year of her MChem she headed south to Bracknell for an industrial placement at Syngenta, and completed her dissertation on biofungicide formulation development. Following graduation, she spent a further two years at Syngenta as an R&D chemist, synthesising lots of new herbicide candidates. In 2026, Morgan returned to Scotland to begin her PhD with the Burley Group, where her research focuses on establishing a modular synthetic platform for the preparation of 2′- and 4′-modified therapeutic oligonucleotides.
