Biography:

My research interests span antimicrobial resistance, cancer biology and, more broadly, biochemistry. I am interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underpin disease and contribute to treatment complexity. My doctoral research investigated antimicrobial resistance in clinically important respiratory pathogens, exploring novel therapeutic strategies and antimicrobial combinations against multidrug-resistant bacteria and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Alongside this, I have contributed to research in cancer biology, including studies investigating redox regulation and immune interactions in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). My research is driven by an interest in translational science, bridging fundamental molecular biology with clinically relevant applications to improve our umore...
