My research investigates the cytotoxic role of Vδ1 γδ T cells and their potential use as an Adoptive Cell Therapy for solid tumours. Graduate of B.A. in Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Trinity College Dublin, specialising in Molecular Medicine (2.1). I am an intelligent, adaptable scientist with an undying work ethic and intellectual curiosity. I am willing to go beyond the conventional in my approach to problem-solving in wet lab experiments and computational analysis. I am highly motivated and keenly interested in cancer immunology.
