I am interested in immune cell biology, particularly how immune cells are capable of performing such wide ranging functions and how they adapt to different environmental cues. During my masters degree, I investigated the presence of fibroblast subtypes and the role of PGE2 signalling in fibrosis. I completed my PhD in Iwan Evans’ lab at the University of Sheffield investigating the existence of macrophage subtypes in Drosophila. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher based in London where I am investigating the role of neutrophils and T-cells in ischaemia reperfusion injury.
In addition, I have active interests in science communication, open-access, career development and community building. I host the Preprints in Motion podcast where we highlight ECRs and the benefits of preprinting and founded the UK & EU postdoc community to create a space for postdocs to provide support and resources to one-another. I have also featured on international radio stations (BBC Radio 4, ORF & German National radio) to communicate the importance of preprints in addition to having written for outlets such as The Scientist and the British Society for Cell Biology.
