I began my medical degree at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 2013. After completing an intercalated BA in Infection and Immunology, I spent four years undertaking a DPhil at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology with Professor Quentin Sattentau, researching advanced glycation end products and their effects on immune responses. I returned to Oxford Clinical School during the COVID-19 pandemic and later joined Imperial College on the Academic Foundation Programme, working at St Mary’s and Hammersmith Hospital. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Chain Florey Programme at the MRC LMS and will be pursuing specialty training in histopathology.
