Personal profile
Overview
I completed my PhD at the University of Strathclyde in 2012 studying host-pathogen interactions during Toxoplasma gondii infection, to inform the design and testing of vaccine candidates. I continued as a post-doctoral researcher working in collaboration with the University of Chicago to study the in vivo efficacy of potential therapeutics for T. gondii infection.
In 2015 I joined a new collaborative project between the UoS and the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. The research goal was to develop a platform technology for targeted delivery and enhanced efficacy of antimicrobials used to treat bio-threat organisms.
Current research activities
My research interests are focused on better understanding host-pathogen interactions which occur during infection with Toxoplasma gondii
Current teaching activities and interests
I teach on a number of courses including:
Clinical Immunology
Parasitology
Principle and Applications of Immune assays
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
