Biography
I am a DPhil student at the University of Oxford working with Professor Teresa Lambe and Professor Sarah Gilbert. My work focuses on adenoviral vector vaccine development, and investigation of cross-reactivity between coronaviruses. More broadly, I am interested in vaccines against zoonotic diseases of pandemic potential. I am also a qualified veterinarian, and worked as a mixed vet in the Outer Hebrides before starting my PhD.
