Hey!
My interest in immunology started when my mom was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. That personal connection led me to pursue an MSc, during which I studied how exercise affects the immune system.
Outside the lab, I’m into painting, badminton, squash—and I’m always planning my next trip! I also love learning languages, and I speak five of them, which helps me connect with new cultures and people.
I’m an MSc candidate, and my project focuses on discovering a new inflammatory marker and figuring out how it works. It's a super exciting area to explore because it could help pave the way for new treatments for inflammatory-related diseases in the future.
Away from the bench, I’m all about baking (especially anything vanilla), swimming, meditating, and spending time in nature. I also really love listening to music, especially when I’m doing experiments, as it helps me stay focused and in the zone.
