After my PhD in immunology I worked on vaccines for animal health and veterinary medicine for a number of years. In 2018 I changed careers and began working as a project manager for Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert on the Jenner Institute’s Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus vaccine project. This led to a role as a Senior Project Manager on the University of Oxford’s COVID vaccine program in 2020. I joined the Draper Group in 2023 as a Senior Project Manager. I am responsible for the EU consortium project OptiViVax, which seeks to develop improved vaccines for Plasmodium vivaxmalaria (https://optivivax.web.ox.ac.uk/).
