My work combines concepts and experimentation from network modelling, transcriptomics, behavioural testing and immune and neural activation studies to identify gene complexes involved in signalling, sensing and processing within the immune system

I am an advocate of collaborative science and active discussion of scientific principles. I have always taken a great interest in people who work within my research team and strive to create a supportive and challenging environment for both undergraduate and graduate students. At this time I have completed 6 PhD theses as co-tutor and 6 MSc theses also as co-tutor. I currently have two PhD student. I also actively encourage undergraduate students to participate in our activities and usually we have 1-2 undergrads/year. I have complete 4 pre-grade theses as tutor and one as co-tutor. I would describe myself as a highly motivated and open-minded person and greatly enjoy passing this on to others.
