I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Biochemistry working in the blood-stage malaria group. My research focuses on the discovery and characterisation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting blood stage malaria vaccine candidates. I then use these mAbs to design new, more potent vaccine candidates. 

I completed my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry, followed by a MRes in Molecular Microbiology at the University of Bath. After my studies, I worked in research and development for a leading gene and cell therapy company in Oxfordshire. I completed my DPhil at The Jenner Institute, funded by the Oxford-MRC Doctoral Training Partnership, where I researched novel blood-stage malaria vaccines based around the RH5 interacting protein.

I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and deliver biochemistry tutorials to first year medical students in my role as retained lecturer at Pembroke College.
