DPhil Student, Kidani Scholar

I recently completed my BA in Medical Sciences at the University of Oxford, where I gained my first research experience during my FHS, investigating humoral responses to the novel ChAdOx1 plague vaccine in its phase I clinical trial. I have now chosen to pause my pursuit of medicine to focus on my research interests within immuno-oncology, with the ultimate goal of becoming an academic clinician within this space.

Accordingly, under the supervision of Dr. Eleni Adamopoulou and Professor Tim Elliott, my DPhil research will involve deep phenotyping of the tumour immune microenvironment within malignant ascites of ovarian cancer - a historically underappreciated, yet invaluable biospecimen. I will also be performing MS-based immunopeptidomics to identify those antigens directly on tumour cells, aiming to discover actionable targets with potential to powerfully inform cancer vaccine design.
