Interrogation of host-pathogen dynamics and development of strategies to promote stimulation of the innate host response to microbial infections.
Research activity per year
I joined Edge Hill University in 2020 as Lecturer in Microbiology. In 2019, I completed my PhD in Life Science from Manchester Metropolitan University, which investigated the effect of age-related decline in estrogen levels on host-pathogen interactions using in vitro and ex vivo models of the inflammatory phase of wound repair. Immediately after my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Manchester Metropolitan University. In 2020, I secured an BBSRC-funded FTMA Fellowship in collaboration with the 5D Health Protection Group, Liverpool. As a Research Fellow, my research focused on investigating strategies that stimulate host-pathogen interactions in wound biofilms using Poloxamer Surfactants.
Research interests
My research mainly focuses on interrogating host-pathogen dynamics and developing novel strategies to promote stimulation of the innate host response to bacterial infection. I currently work on investigating the effect of different molecules including sex-steroid hormones on the ability of innate immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils to eradicate bacteria through phagocytosis.
Teaching
In 2020, I completed a PGCE in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and became a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I am currently teaching on the following modules:
I am also the programme leader of:
