BIO

I am a Research Fellow and PhD candidate in the Drakeley group at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, specialising in multiplex serological assay development and immuno-epidemiology for malaria. I work with international partners on multiplex assay transfer, multi-disease serosurveillance, and defining immune signatures of malaria exposure and protection. My work currently focuses on how interventions such as vaccines and chemoprevention affect naturally acquired immunity.
