Biography
My research interest has been focused on inflammation in the context of atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative disease including multiple sclerosis and CADASIL. Throughout my career to date, I have had the opportunity to carry out research in state-of-the-art facilities in Ireland, UK and USA. I have led several research projects working on identification of novel targets in atherosclerosis, development of immunomodulatory therapeutics and biomarkers for chronic inflammatory disease. To date my research has led to a total of 7 publications with 4 currently in submission/review phase. I am a highly motivated scientist, with a keen interest in inflammatory disease. My academic career has helped me to develop a strong scientific grounding while also enhancing my organizational, problem solving and teamwork skills. I enjoy collaborating with others and have experience in presenting scientific information, creating new hypotheses and implementing solutions. This fellowship will allow me to progress to achieve my personal aim which is to develop a variety of skills, knowledge and experience to allow me to contribute to the development of therapies and biomarkers for neuroinflammatory disease.
