Personal profile

Overview

My research focuses on understanding how tissue-infiltrating B cells interact with the surrounding microenvironment and promote inflammation in chronic respiratory diseases and autoimmunity. I have recently been awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to further develop my independent research programme. Prior to this, I completed my postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical School, Boston (with Prof Vijay Kuchroo and Dr Brian Hafler), identifying inflammatory pathways contributing to age-related macular degeneration. I also trained as a postdoc at University College London (with Prof Claudia Mauri), investigating the role of intestinal barrier dysfunction in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. I obtained my PhD in Immunology from University College London in 2015 unravelling the crosstalk between B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells in systemic lupus erythematosus.
