Role: Non-Stipendiary Lecturer in Medicine

Biography

I began studying medicine at Magdalen College, Oxford and matriculated in 2014. After 3 years I intercalated a 4-year BHF-funded DPhil working with Prof. David Paterson and Prof. Ana Domingos in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics. I completed my research and returned to study clinical medicine in 2021 (at Green Templeton College), and am now undertaking my final year. Since 2017 I have taught physiology to 2nd year medical students at Magdalen, and started doing the same for Lady Margaret Hall from 2020.

Research Interests

  • Sympathetic control of the heart
  • Neuro-immune interactions in disease

Teaching

At LMH, I teach: 1st BM Part II - Applied Physiology & Pharmacology.
