I am a Research Associate in the Brain Inflammation Group. I use a variety of experimental models—including mice, zebrafish larvae, and in vitro systems—to investigate disease mechanisms associated with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), a form of stroke caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the brain. My research focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular processes that drive disease progression. Broadly, my interests include:

1. Risk factors contributing to ICH

2. Neuroinflammatory responses following ICH

3. Neuroprotective mechanisms in the context of ICH

Experimental disease modelling in mice and zebrafish

Molecular biology techniques

Cell biology, with a focus on macrophages, microglia, and brain endothelial cells
