Profile
I completed my undergraduate medical sciences degree (BSc hons) at the University of Leeds graduating in 2011. Following this, I began working in the lab of Professor Robert Ariëns in the school of medicine in Leeds as a research assistant exploring the roles of the fibrin clot in abdominal aortic aneurysm development and progression. In 2012 I began a part-time PhD along side my research assistant position, focussing on the role of fibrin clots in cardiovascular disease and infection. In 2019 I was awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship from the Wellcome trust to explore the role of fibrin films in infection and wound healing.
