During my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences at Bournemouth University, I developed a strong academic interest in the immune system that then led me to complete a Master's degree in Immunology at Imperial College London.

My research experiences have consistently centred on the intersection of immunity and metabolism - exploring how glycolysis influences phagocytosis, how glycerol shapes macrophage phenotype, and how microbial metabolites modulate immune responses to infection.

This sustained focus on immunometabolism led me to my current PhD in Petter Brodin's Systems Immunology Group, where I investigate the mechanisms linking cellular metabolism to human immune function. Using whole-blood miniaturised culture systems, which preserve the native human cellular environment, and combined with multi-omic analyses, my work aims to define how metabolic perturbation shapes immune cell function.
