I have a strong interest in the molecular mechanisms and interactions that occur during infections. During my postgraduate study at the University of Nottingham and my postdoc research at INRA, I studied both the innate and adaptive immune responses of the avian host to a range of Salmonella serovars at the cellular and molecular levels. This has given me a wide range of laboratory skills, including cell culture, bacteriology, genetics and molecular biology, immunological techniques and histology and immunohistochemical staining. I also have excellent transferable skills, including good team working, communication, motivation, leadership and problem solving skills.
