MSc by Research Student
I am currently a first-year MRes student in the EndoCare group, under the supervision of Dr. Jen Southcombe, Dr. Ingrid Granne, and Dr. Christian Becker. My research focuses on the immunology of endometriosis, with particular emphasis on understanding the immune environment of endometrial lesions and the factors contributing to lesion recurrence following surgery.
Prior to starting at the University of Oxford, I received an honours Bachelor of Science in immunology and global health from the University of Toronto, Canada. I then worked as a laboratory technician the CReATe Fertility Centre in Toronto in the andrology department. All together - my experiences studying immunology, and witnessing the struggles that women with reproductive disorders face in achieving pregnancy and maintaining a high quality of life motivated my pursuit of reproductive immunology at the University of Oxford.
My research interests extend to various aspects of immunology, improving assisted reproductive techniques, fertility, and the vaginal microbiome.
