My research focuses on improving survival rates after lung transplantation. Long-term survival after lung transplantation is only 30-40%. This is due to infection and to the repeated activation of the immune system. My work aims to identify the key drivers of immune activation and identify new methods to assess patient immunity to infection.
I chose to join WiSPP as I have a passion for equity and diversity in the workplace. Diverse workplaces that encourage flexible and new ideas are the most content and the most productive. I strive to provide a space for this to occur in my Institute, precinct and larger scientific community. I am truly excited by the real impact WiSPP can have to achieve these aspirations.
