Biography
Alice Halliday received her BSc in Microbiology from the University of Manchester in 2008, which included a 10-month placement studying immune responses to placental malaria infection in the MRC laboratories in The Gambia. She subsequently worked as a research assistant on an NHS-funded project exploring health care needs in relation to immunisation uptake in Manchester. In 2013, she completed her PhD at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) exploring the immune responses in the parasitic disease, Leishmaniasis. Her first postdoc, also at LSTM, involved the development of models of Onchocerciasis for drug screening, both in the UK and in Cameroon.
In 2014, Dr Halliday moved to Imperial College where her work has been focused on exploring cellular immune responses in Tuberculosis, with a particular interest in the development of new diagnostic tools for individuals with either active TB (especially hard-to diagnose groups) or latent TB infection. She has a keen interest in clinical immunology research, vaccines and human models of infection.
