I joined the Draper Group as a Research Assistant in October 2026, where I support the preclinical development of novel bispecific antibody therapeutics against blood-stage malaria as part of a Gates Foundation-funded project led by Dr. Kirsty McHugh.
Prior to joining the group, I completed my MSc in Integrated Immunology at the University of Oxford in 2025. My research project, supervised by Professor Teresa Lambe, focused on exploring capsid decoration strategies to improve the immunogenicity of ChAdOx2 vectors. Following my MSc, I worked as a Research Assistant at an Oxford-based biotech start-up, contributing to the discovery of novel TCR candidates targeting HLA class II-restricted tumour antigens for the development of bispecific and trispecific T-cell engager therapies.
Outside the lab, I am an avid traveller and hiker who has backpacked solo to more than 30 countries (and counting!) and walked over 1,000 km on hikes and pilgrimages around the world ✈️🥾🌎
