Biography:

I completed my PhD at the University of Sydney and Centenary Institute in 2023, which was focused on understanding the immune mechanisms responsible for the effectiveness of mucosal subunit vaccines against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2. Since then, I have worked as a postdoctoral researcher and project manager in the Tuberculosis Research Program, working on the development of a nasal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and continuing to study the immune responses to inhaled TB subunit vaccines.
