About
My research journey started at QIMR Berghofer which fostered my curiousity and love for immunology. I developed a keen interest in T cell responses during infection and inflammation. I was awarded my PhD in 2016 at The University of Queensland and completed my post-doctoral training at The University of York, United Kingdom from 2019 - 2021. My research largely focuses on modulating immune responses for therapeutic benefit in the context of infectious diseases (2016 – 2022), cancer (2022 – 2023), autoimmune diseases (2023 – 2024) and more recently stem cell transplantation.
I am passionate about cellular immunology, multiparametric flow cytometry, high-dimensional analysis, science communication and working in a collegial environment towards a common goal.
I have been fortunate to work alongside talented, hard-working individuals from multi-disciplinary teams, so if my work is of interest to you, please feel free to contact me.
