About

I am a Research Assistant in the Cardiac Bioengineering Laboratory and Antigen Presentation Laboratory at QIMR Berghofer. I completed my Bachelor of Science (Honours) at QIMR Berghofer (API Lab) in 2021, where I studied T-cell function in vitro and in murine models of graft-versus-host disease. From 2022 I have been working to understand the role of acute and chronic inflammation in driving neuro-cognitive dysfunction in a cerebral organoid model (Hudson Laboratory) and in GVHD (MacDonald Laboratory).
