I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Ellen Bushell’s group focusing on the molecular pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions of malaria.
My current research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of malaria to identify new therapeutic targets. My scientific background is rooted in the study of infectious diseases, with a particular focus on the molecular biology of respiratory viruses. Prior to joining UCMR, I spent several years researching the pathogenesis and transmission of influenza viruses.
My previous work involved investigating viral replication and the host immune response to infection. I am now applying my expertise in molecular genetics and pathogen biology to the field of malaria, exploring how these complex parasites interact with their environment and host cells.
