  Master of Science - MS Immunology Distinction

  Activities and Societies: Art Society Relevant modules: Cellular Interactions in The Immune System, Molecular Immunology, Immune Disorders and Infection. Research Project:Investigated neutralising antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in a chronically infected patient. The aims were to (1) carry out antigen-specific B cell sorting of peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected from a chronic donor, (2) generate full-length monoclonal antibodies from the sorted B cells and (3) conduct sequence… Show more Relevant modules: Cellular Interactions in The Immune System, Molecular Immunology, Immune Disorders and Infection. Research Project:Investigated neutralising antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection in a chronically infected patient. The aims were to (1) carry out antigen-specific B cell sorting of peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected from a chronic donor, (2) generate full-length monoclonal antibodies from the sorted B cells and (3) conduct sequence analysis and characterisation of the antibodies based on their binding specificity and neutralisation potency. Awarded First Class for research project proposal (85%), scientific report (77%) and project oral presentation (75%). Awarded First Class (75%) in critical assay titled “Allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic diseases”. Served as a student ambassador for the Art Society. Show less
