Teaching

• BSc Biomedical Science Year 3: Immunity and Inflammatory Disease
• ICS Rheumatology & Orthopaedics

Research

  • Stratification of immune disorders using process modules common/private to disorders
  • Stromal immunology, in particular the role of stromal subsets in the healthy immune response and disease and how stromal responses and subsets vary across tissues
  • Transcriptomics data analysis, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing and leading-edge developments, and working in the R programming language
  • Platforms and methods for easing access and interpretation of big data by colleagues without computational ability
  • Merging transcriptomic data with wet-lab validation and spatial assignment of transcriptomic data
