Personal profile
Research interests
I joined the Department for Health at the University of Bath in 2013 and I am leading a programme of research that examines the immunology of chronic diseases such as cancer in the context of ageing and lifestyle. Prior to my position at the University of Bath, I undertook a PhD between 2007-2010 at the University of Birmingham, UK. My research covered topics related to exercise, immune function and ageing. Following my PhD, I remained at the University of Birmingham to undertake three years of post-doctoral training in cancer immunology. During this time, my contributions furthered our understanding of the immune system helping to establish novel therapeutic strategies for treating blood cancers. In addition, my projects contributed towards developing a prophylactic vaccine to prevent glandular fever and cancers caused by Epstein-Barr Virus.
The research projects I am leading cover topics such as:
- Ageing of the immune system and inflammation
- Immune-surveillance and immune competency
- Cancer risk and cancer treatment
Many of these themes are examined in the context of:
- Exercise and physical activity
- Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour
- Overweight, obesity and diet
- Psychosocial stress
Fingerprint Fingerprint is based on mining the text of the person's scientific documents to create an index of weighted terms, which defines the key subjects of each individual researcher.
