Biography

I am a Clinical Research Fellow with King's College, London and a medical oncology registrar with Guy's and St Thomas's NHS trust. I have been working as a medical doctor in the NHS since 2014 and within the field of oncology since 2020. I am currently pursuing a PhD in breast cancer immunology, specifically looking at early-stage triple negative breast cancer and seeking to identify biomarkers of response and resistance to neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
