BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
2013- Vice-Chancellor's Fellow, Infection and Immunity, University of Sheffield
2011-2013 Post-doctoral fellow: Meijer Lab, University of Leiden
2008-2011 Post-doctoral associate: Renshaw Lab, University of Sheffield
2004-2008 PhD: Roehl Lab, University of Sheffield

My interests lie in investigating the roles of hypoxia signalling (HIF signalling) in the innate immune response to infection and injury using the zebrafish as a model.
