I am a Wellcome Trust Clinical PhD Fellow in the Macaulay group. My PhD is focused on using single cell technologies to define the tissue-resident and circulating immune cell landscape in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, a rare liver disease.

I graduated from the University of Birmingham Medical School in 2015, having undertaken an intercalated Biomedical Science degree from 2012-2013 with Dr Mark Webber, looking at antibiotic resistance mechanisms in GyrA mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

I moved to Oxford to start my academic clinical training, during which I contributed to a project looking into using health informatics data to describe clearance dynamics in chronic hepatitis B infection with Professor Katie Jeffery, Professor Ellie Barnes and Dr Philippa Matthews.

Prior to starting my PhD, I completed an Academic Clinical Fellowship and I am currently a Specialty Registrar in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in the East of England.
