Research Activities

I undertook my PhD research with Professor Jason Mackenzie at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity. The focus of this was in understanding the role viral protein nuclear trafficking may have in West Nile virus replication. I am currently based at the University of Cambridge researching human norovirus replication.

My research interests lie in understanding host:pathogen interactions, in particular the role that RNA virus nuclear trafficking has on viral replication - as well as understanding how viruses are able to manipulate the innate immune response to their advantage.
