Currently - Working for the Holt lab as a Post Doctoral Fellow for the BC Cancer Agency in research and development. The primary goal is to work on the current chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell project and work on a number of development projects which may assist in this.
Ph.D. - The Immunopathogenesis of Delayed Drug Hypersensitivity, Murdoch University, 2016
B.Sc. - Molecular Biology and Biomedical Science with First Class Honours in Molecular Biology, 2012
B.Forensics - Forensic Biology and Toxioclogy, 2011
Honours - The non-specific amplification and sequencing of RNA viral sequences in patient plasma, in order to remove the bias inherent in standard PCR based amplification methods and develop a bead based capture assay to capture and amplify HLA sequences to improve HLA typing using the next generation sequencing platforms.
Ph.D. - Completed Ph.D. at the Institute for Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Murdoch University, Perth Western Australia. Focusing on delayed T cell mediated drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions (HSR's).
Post Ph.D. - Worked as a Research Assistant for the Tumour Immunology Group and the National Centre for Asbestos Related Disease, helping to investigate Lung Cancer and mesothelioma Neo-Antigen T-cell responses.
