Biography
I am a clinician scientist and a consultant in Infectious Diseases. I undertook an MRC PhD fellowship to study the role of acute phase responses in anti‑bacterial host defence, followed by a Wellcome Trust fellowship on the impact of HIV‑1 infection on innate immune host-pathogen interactions in macrophages. This led to the study of HIV‑TB co-infection and my current focus on immunological determinants of outcome in tuberculosis. My group combines molecular, cellular and systems level approaches to investigate host‑microbial interactions in order to inform novel approaches for diagnosis, patient stratification, and identification of rational targets for therapeutic intervention.
