• Research Assistant

  • Apr 2022 - May 2022

  A 6-week laboratory-based research elective in an infant immunology lab within the vaccines centre under the supervision of Professor Beate Kampmann and Dr Anja Saso. I conducted immunological assays (Ex-vivo and intracellular immunostaining) to delineate the varied CD4+ T-cell immune responses between whole cell and acellular pertussis vaccines and analysed the assays using advanced multi-colour flow cytometry. The project is embedded within a large clinical trial, The Gambian Pertussis Study (GaPS). Show less

  • Jan 2020 - Mar 2020

  I received a JASSO scholarship and was accepted on to a competitive 8-week internship at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) as part of an exchange programme between TMDU and Imperial College London. I joined Professor Tanaka's molecular oncology laboratory. We inhibited anti-apoptotic proteins in pancreatic cancer cells to upregulate cGAS-STING signalling and improve antitumour immunity. I utilised a myriad of laboratory skills including reporter gene assays, PCR, cell culture, DNA isolation, co-transfection, electrophoresis, and flow cytometry. I proceeded to publish a literature review on the up regulation of the cGAS-STING signalling pathway in immunotherapy. Show less
