I was appointed as a Senior Clinical Lecturer and Consultant Microbiologist in August 2022. I originally joined the University of 91Ö±²¥ in 2018 as an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer and Honorary SpR in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology.
I graduated from the University of 91Ö±²¥ Medical School in 2005 and I have worked in 91Ö±²¥, New Zealand, Oxford and Nottingham since then. I completed a Masters in Tropical Medicine and International Health in 2011 at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and subsequently worked as a Research Fellow in the blood-stage malaria vaccine group at the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford (2012 - 2016).
This experience has led to my ongoing involvement and research in vaccination, particularly for pathogens that are difficult to control/ eradicate but cause a huge burden of disease such as malaria.

My research interests are in vaccinology and malaria infection. I am particularly interested in looking at the innate responses to vaccination and how these are affected by changes in vaccine regimen or adjuvant.
