Biography

Background

I am a first year PhD student with a background in Neuroscience. I am currently working on childhood central nervous system acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (CNS-ALL). My project involves using clinical data to investigate potential confounders in the clinical setting, as well as metabolomics and lipidomics to screen for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, to ultimately inform the risk-stratification of childhood CNS ALL.

Qualifications
