I was inspired to choose Haematology as a career after completing an intercalated BSc in Haematology during medical school, and haven’t looked back since!
I chose this project because I have a strong interest in cell therapies and believe they have huge potential to help cancer patients in the future. Furthermore, lung cancer is one of the common cancers for which more
effective therapies are urgently needed. The hope is that this project will eventually pave the way for a potential clinical trial and provide an effective therapy for patients with lung cancer.
My birthday (26th Sept) is one of the most common birthdays.
I have a specific interest in high grade serous ovarian cancer, and I chose this project as it offered the opportunity to explore a novel therapeutic approach to this disease and study the tumour microenvironment using multiomics.
High grade serous ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynaecological cancer and only 30% of patients survive beyond 10 years. There is a clear unmet clinical need in the relapsed setting and we hope that this project will contribute to the development of novel immune-based therapies in this tumour type.
