I am a parasitologist with a background in molecular and cellular biology, and an academic focus on infectious diseases. I obstained a BSc in Microbiology in 2016 from the University of Leeds, and subsequently earned an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases in 2018 from LSHTM.
I am currently studying for my PhD, and my research at the School is focused on dissecting the fundamental biology of the pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas’ disease.
