I obtained my PhD at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, before working as a postdoctoral fellow in Birmingham, Senior Research Scientist at the Edward Jenner Institute and Principal Investigator at Oxford University. I joined The Pirbright Institute in January 2014 as the head of swine influenza immunology. I have extensive experience in molecular and cellular immunology of mice, pigs and humans and have worked for more than 20 years in infectious and autoimmune disease models.
