I am an EMBO postdoctoral researcher using spatial-omics technologies to study disease mechanisms of Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM). I am additionally developing a patient derived hiPSC in vitro myositis model to mimic myofiber-immune cell interactions in vitro and to generate a platform to experimentally text insights from spatial-omics data.

Expertises: Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM), myositis, spatial transcriptomics, in vitro modelling

Dissertation: Understanding Cochlear Development: Insights from a Notch Disease Model and Lineage Tracing of In Utero labelled Otic Progenitors, 04/06/2024
