Oxford, England, United Kingdom

Imaging technician at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, University of Oxford. Specialised in high-dimensional imaging of stromal-immune markers at the single-cell level with Cell DIVE technology. Part of collaborative efforts to elucidate cellular underpinnings of inflammatory disease. Worked on a deep-learning based segmentation pipeline for image analysis of highly multiplexed whole-slide images.

Supervisor: Professor Kathryn ElseTrichuriasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trichuris trichiura in humans. Trichuris muris infection in mice is a useful parasite model to study the disease. My final year research project aimed at investigating the role of a resistin-like protein in regulating intestinal inflammation in mice infected with T. muris. I utilised histological techniques that involved tissue sectioning with a microtome and PAS/H&E staining followed by image and… Show more Supervisor: Professor Kathryn ElseTrichuriasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trichuris trichiura in humans.
