Laboratory Manager, AUTOIMMUNE NEUROLOGY DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY
I am responsible for the day-to-day running of the Autoimmune Neurology Diagnostic Laboratory, working together with the current staff to provide consistently high quality and reliable results on various diagnostic assays. These assays aid the diagnoses of patients with antibody mediated central nervous system diseases.
Additionally, I contribute to the discovery of new antibody targets and improve our understanding of disease mechanisms through my work in assay development and optimisation.
