Biography:

I am currently a PhD candidate at St. George’s University of London and my research focuses on post-exposure immunisation (passive and active immunisation strategies) against multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Additionally, I am also working on using ex vivo mycobacterial growth inhibition assay (MGIA) for the assessment of vaccine- or infection-induced immunity.
