Biography
I am an NRP DTP PhD student in the Wojtowicz Group.
My project investigates how low-protein diets influence development and function of selected innate immune cell lineages. Using single cell multiomics, lineage tracing, and metabolomics, my research project aims to uncover how diet shapes haematopoiesis and immune resilience.
Before joining the Earlham Institute, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical, Health and Life Sciences at University College Dublin. In 2021, I worked as a lab technician in Eurofins Biomnis’ COVID PCR laboratory, conducting testing for the Irish Health Service Executive. I then spent three years as a Quality Control Specialist at Stemcell Technologies in Vancouver, Canada, where I focused on evaluating and optimising immune cell isolation technologies.
