Biography

I am a DPhil Student in Molecular and Cellular Medicine, based up at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology on Old Road Campus.

My DPhil project is very immunology focused and aims to understand more about a type of immune cells (Regulatory T cells) and the role that hey play in promoting tolerance to our gut microbiota.

In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and baking, plus I’m also trying to get more into running again at the moment! I am currently the GCR Secretary for Reuben College (2024-25).
