Hui Shi

I originally trained in Medicine at HuaZhong University of Science and Technology. After completing my PhD in 2013, I worked as a clinical doctor in China. In 2015, I joined the group of Prof. Paul Bowness and Dr. Liye Chen at the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) at the University of Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher in translational immunology. My research focused on the role of HLA-B27 in the immune system and the function of tissue-resident memory T cells in health and disease.

Most recently, I joined the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (Women’s Reproductive Health, University of Oxford) as a postdoctoral researcher, supported by funding from Cancer Research UK. Working with Professor Ahmed Ahmed, my research aims to enhance T cell immune responses to ovarian cancer, with the goal of identifying and developing preventive therapeutic strategies.
