Project Title:



Background
I completed my BSc Biomedical Sciences (1st class Hons) at the University of Sheffield in 2020. My final year project was conducted in the Sheffield RNAi Screening Facility, investigating the potential role a drug (ZK-93423) could have in colorectal cancer therapy. As part of my degree, I spent a year studying abroad at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. It was during this year I developed a keen interest in infectious disease and immunology. To deepen my knowledge of these topics, I decided to undertake a Master’s degree in Antimicrobial Resistance within the Florey Institute.
​
I am fascinated by host-pathogen interactions. I have a particular interest in immunology, the mechanisms pathogens use to evade immune responses and discovering new ways to modulate host immune systems in order to improve patient outcomes. Upon completion of my master’s degree, I wish to begin a PhD in this field, with the eventual aim of establishing a research career studying infectious disease.
