I work a joint role as Laboratory Manager to the Chemokine Research Group, led by Professor Gerry Graham and as a project co-ordinator within the college of MVLS. Prior to this, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher for seven years where my research focussed on the autoimmune neuropathy Guillain-Barré syndrome.
