Brief biography

I am a neurology registrar in Oxford currently studying for a full-time Wellcome Trust-funded DPhil, with the goal of establishing myself as a clinician-scientist.  My supervisors are A/Prof Irani, as well as Prof Julian Knight and Dr Kate Elliott from the Knight Group, Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics, Oxford.

My research focuses on clinical and genetic aspects of autoimmune encephalitides.  Previously (2016-2017) I was an Academic Clinical Fellow in Neurology in Oxford investigating clinical and HLA associations of LGI1- and CASPR2-antibody encephalitis, and prior to that I completed an Academic Foundation Programme in Neurology in Brighton.
