Research

Supervisors: Prof. Paul Kellam and Dr Carl Anderson

I am a first year PhD student at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, jointly supervised by Prof. Paul Kellam and Dr. Carl Anderson. My PhD project aims to explore host adaptive immune response to natural virus infection and after vaccination challenge. My current research efforts are focused on the characterization of B cell repertoires involved the immune response to measles virus infection in unvaccinated hosts.
