What I enjoyed most about studying at LSHTM
It was inspiring being surrounded by intelligent and international people in a modern study environment. Everyone was very helpful and LSHTM teaching staff did their best to help me succeed in my future career.
LSHTM provided a lot of opportunities to improve transferable and course-specific skills. The selection of interesting and well-rounded immunology lectures and practical classes were suitable for an upcoming career as an immunologist researcher. In addition, there were a lot of opportunities to improve transferable skills such as critical analysis, also useful for any non-science job.
Since graduating I have been...
Working as a researcher/immunologist on various immunology-related projects. Currently, I am investigating innate and adaptive immunity cell phenotypical and functional characteristics in SARS-CoV-2 convalescent and vaccinated individuals. I am also engaged in clinical work concerning allergic asthma and atopic dermatitis.
