Project title - Bone marrow microenvironment remodelling and innate immune signalling in acute myeloid leukaemia

What inspired you to choose this project?

I am interested in studying how support cells within the bone marrow change in response to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)/chemotherapy so that we can identify patients at risk of poorer outcomes and of equal importance identify better ways to target the leukaemia through facilitating personalised treatment approaches. The long-term hope is that we will be able to identify better treatments to effectively treat the AML/prevent it from coming back while helping patients achieve healthy bone marrow recovery.

Interesting fact about yourself

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!

Project title - CAR-T Cell Therapy for Lung Cancer

What inspired you to choose this project?

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.
