Profile Summary

I hold a first-class Undergraduate and Master’s degree in Immunology and am currently undertaking a PhD in Cardiovascular Science at the University of Oxford. My research experience includes one year at the Pasteur Institute in Paris working on a bladder cancer project and a year as a research assistant at Queen’s University Belfast in a Virology lab. I have multiple published pieces of writing to my name (research article, reviews, perspective pieces, magazine article, book chapter). My current research lies at the intersection between immunology and endocrinology. Along side this, I work as a project consultant for a UK based biotech company. I have a passion for understanding how we can harness the immune system for therapeutic benefit.
