Investigating the role of neutrophil-mediated tissue damage in a model of lupus nephritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects around 5 million people worldwide. It disproportionately affects women and is incurable. Read more
Investigating the role of neutrophil subsets in vascular inflammation
Vascular pathologies underline devastating diseases ranging from auto-immune vasculitis to the recent COVID-19 pandemic (1). Read more
Investigating the regulation of neutrophil gene expression by intracellular signalling and small non-coding RNAs
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affect millions of people worldwide and cause debilitating and disabling musculoskeletal disease. Read more
Demystifying metal whiskering
In 2005, a nuclear reactor at Millstone Power Station in the US was unexpectedly shut down. Technicians were stumped as to what the culprit might be, until they spotted under a microscope a thin metal filament spanning the surface of a computer card and bridging a conductive material. Read more
Modulation of host immune response by secreted proteins from parasitic worms
Background. To establish chronic infection, parasitic worms manipulate their mammalian hosts’ immune system. This immune modulation is often mediated by excreted or secreted parasite glycoproteins (ES proteins). Read more
The poor, by the way: Practice-led working-class experimental writing
This practice-led project aims to forefront working-class lived experience to produce new experimental, interdisciplinary writing. Read more
Self-funded PhD- Understanding the molecular mechanism of a bacterial genome defence system and its synergy with CRISPR-Cas
Prokaryotes have evolved over billions of years alongside their viruses, the bacteriophages, or “phages”. To prevent viral infection, prokaryotes have evolved rudimentary immune mechanisms, the most widespread and well-studied of which are the Restriction-Modification and the CRISPR-Cas enzymes. Read more
Data-Driven Computational Sensing and Imaging
Today's state-of-the-art imaging and sensing rely as much on computation as they do on sensor hardware. Furthermore, computational sensing and imaging is increasingly exploiting data-driven and machine learning solutions to enhance performance and develop novel hardware/software co-designed sensing systems.

Elucidating the mechanisms of pathology in neurodevelopmental white matter diseases
Our research interests are to dissect the mechanism of auto-inflammatory neurological disorders using zebrafish as an animal model. Read more
