MBPhD candidate at the University of Oxford, with research focused on characterising the recognition landscape of T cell receptors. I'm interested in how TCRs drive certain disease contexts, and how engineered TCRs can be optimised for specificity to their target, safety and efficacy before reaching patients. Alongside the lab, I've worked across the life sciences ecosystem in consulting and biotech strategy roles, which has shaped how I think about the pathway from academic research to approved therapy. I'm motivated by the translational gap between scientific discovery and clinical impact, and the different roles stakeholders play in closing it — and I'm looking ahead to opportunities where I can apply both sides of that training to help bring novel therapies to patients faster.
